6/8/2023 0 Comments Never let me go book coverNever Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Its students are well-tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. From the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and Klara and the Sun, comes “a Gothic tour de force" ( The New York Times) with an extraordinary twist-a moving, suspenseful, beautifully atmospheric modern classic.
