Never Let Me Go

Kazuo Ishiguro

★★★★★5.0

Read it in one sitting and spent a week quieter than usual. What it says about memory, complicity, and the smallness of our rebellions has no clean resolution — and that's the point. I kept waiting for them to fight back. They never do. Neither, the book implies, do most of us.

a passage

We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time.
