Never Let Me Go

Kazuo Ishiguro was born in the Japanese city of Nagasaki, but moved to the United Kingdom with his family in childhood. He dreamed of becoming a musician. Instead, Ishiguro received the Booker Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature. Critics often compared him to Vladimir Nabokov – both authors became classics while writing their masterpieces in a non-native language. "Never Let Me Go" is on the list of the 100 best English novels according to Time magazine. An dystopian United Kingdom at the end of the 20th century. In a closed school, children grow up and learn, destined to become organ donors and ultimately end their lives on the operating table. Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth know what fate awaits them, but they do not attempt to change it. They are busy creating works for the mysterious Madame's Gallery. They are guarded by one of their favorite caregivers, read, quarrel, fall in love, and experience first sex. They search for their "possible selves" – the person they are clones of. Their life is rich but short. Their path has been determined since birth.
