Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro (London, 2005)

This is a story from the author’s imagination. The creepy thing about it is : it might just have been true.

I’m not going to say anything about the plot because even a few hints here and there could spoil the suspense for future readers. All I will say is that this novel, this first person narrative covering the first thirty-one years of a woman’s life, has something of the air of science fiction about it. It is a story conveyed so well, a story threaded through with uncertainties and possibilities, it just might have been. It just might.
