ON THE READING TABLE
Ishiguro hands the narration to a mind that sees everything and understands only some of it — and the gap between the two is where the novel breaks your heart.
Klara’s devotion is written with restraint, which makes its questions louder: what is love made of, and could it ever be learned?
A quiet book that starts arguments; ideal for groups who enjoy fiction about technology without the noise of techno-thrillers.
