Description
Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go has sold over a million copies and been translated into more than 40 languages. Its success has been accompanied by a range of critical reactions, from praise for its unique style to concerns about its themes. This short guide, by David Isaacs, offers a closer look at the novel and its impact.
Published in 2005, the novel has been described as a "miraculous" work by one of its most influential critics. However, its complexity and ambiguity have also led to a sense of existential distress among some readers. This guide aims to help readers understand the novel's themes and critical reception, and to explore what it is really about.
