Mrs Rush's Reviews - Kazuo Ishiguro
Never Let Me Go
Kazuo Ishiguro
As Kathy drives around the country she remembers her school days with Ruth and Tommy. They all went to a strange boarding school where the only adults they came into contact with were the teachers, who were very protective towards them. The children have never met their parents. As Kathy remembers more the reader slowly realises that her life is very odd indeed.
The book states that it is set in England in the late 1990s but as you read more you realise that this is not the England we know but one with slight differences. The frightening thing about it is that it could happen. I can't say too much more about it as I would give away the terrific plot.
The book is beautifully written, as you’d expect, and left me feeling very sad and angry.
