the remains of the day and never let me go

A story of love, friendship and memory, Never Let Me Go is charged throughout with a sense of the fragility of life. Narrated by Kathy, now thirty-one, Never Let Me Go dramatises her attempts to come to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School and with the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world.

Stevens as a character was intriguing, infuriating and, above all else, sad. I’ve never read a book where so much was left unsaid, so much heaviness in between the words. In one of the most acclaimed novels of recent years, Kazuo Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewed version of contemporary England. The Remains of the Day was something I was aware of but never had the urge to read, until now. Whether a gift for yourself or someone special, this striking collection of Faber Editions unites some of Faber’s most beloved authors in a format to last generations. Narrated by Kathy, now thirty-one, Never Let Me Go hauntingly dramatises her attempts to come to terms with her childhood at a seemingly idyllic school, Hailsham, and with the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world. It's a different kind of heartbreak though: Remains of the Day is sort of remorse for what happened in your life, but Never Let Me Go is sort of like the heartbreak of growing up.
