Review

Kathy H. remembers her childhood at Hailsham, a school in the English countryside, and her closest friends, Ruth and Tommy. The students are often reminded to look after their art and their health, but no one ever says why.

As they grow up, the truth of a future decided for them in advance comes to light. Through friendship, love and loss, the novel asks what it means to be human.

Telling a dystopia not with alarm but with quiet acceptance, Ishiguro wrote one of the most moving novels of the genre.
