About this product
Product Information
From the bestselling and Booker Prize winning author of Never Let Me Go and The Remains of the Day, a stunning new novel - his first since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature - that asks, what does it mean to love? This is the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass in the street outside. She remains hopeful a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change for ever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans. A thrilling feat of world-building, a novel of exquisite tenderness and impeccable restraint, Klara and the Sun is a magnificent achievement, and an international literary event.Product Identifiers

A well baked book
Ishiguro claims to write the same story over and over and with Klara and the Sun, he doesn't disappoint. The story is simple but the message complex - kneeded dough becoming a simple loaf. Pushing the baking metaphor, if ever we forget how to be human, we'll always have Ishiguro's work to remind us how to be well-risen loaves.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
