Produktinformationen

As children, Kathy, Ruth and Tommy attended an exclusive boarding-school in the English countryside. Idyllic in some ways yet vaguely sinister, 'Hailsham' was a place of intense friendships, mysterious rules, and 'guardians' who constantly reminded the students how special they were. Now thirty-one, Kathy looks back on their shared past and tells how she and her friends gradually came to understand the shocking reason for the careful nurturing they had received. An affecting meditation on friendship, love and mortality.

Ishiguro is my favourite author and this is one of his best books.

A dystopian and tragic story about a humanity that can cure any disease. For this, they need clones. But as dark as this sounds, it isn't a book about revolution or one with a creepy plot. It's more like a mediation and nostalgic story about identity and acceptance.
