From the acclaimed author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, a moving new novel that subtly reimagines our world and time in a haunting story of friendship and love.
As a child, Kathy–now thirty-one years old–lived at Hailsham, a private school in the scenic English countryside where the children were sheltered from the outside world, brought up to believe that they were special and that their well-being was crucial not only for themselves but for the society they would eventually enter. Kathy had long ago put this idyllic past behind her, but when two of her Hailsham friends come back into her life, she stops resisting the pull of memory.
And so, as her friendship with Ruth is rekindled, and as the feelings that long ago fueled her adolescent crush on Tommy begin to deepen into love, Kathy recalls their years at Hailsham. She describes happy scenes of boys and girls growing up together, unperturbed–even comforted–by their isolation. But she describes other scenes as well: of discord and misunderstanding that hint at a dark secret behind Hailsham’s nurturing facade. With the dawning clarity of hindsight, the three friends are compelled to face the truth about their childhood–and about their lives now.
A tale of deceptive simplicity, Never Let Me Go slowly reveals an extraordinary emotional depth and resonance–and takes its place among Kazuo Ishiguro’s finest work.

很多人大概会觉得跟克隆人有关的一定是科幻小说。 我并不认为这本书可以划入普遍意义上的科幻小说里。 虽然这本书是以未来为背景,但他所描写的日常生活细节与我们并无二样,充满了真实感,而且细腻的感情描写引人入胜。就像是不久以后,就像是几十年以后会发生的事情一样。 小...

评分【读品】罗豫/文 一群孩子在一所特别的学校长大。他们之间有友谊、妒忌、取笑、欺骗……与正常的孩子别无二致。唯一不同的是,他们从小被灌输了一套关于自己人生责任的学说:他们活着,就是为了向外面世界的人提供器官。一次次捐赠后,他们会越来越虚弱,最终光荣实现人生意义...
评分 评分石黑一雄确实是一个英国作家,这一点在字里行间我感受到他没有具备其余日本作家的什么共性。硬要说有的话,这是一部悲伤的书,和大多日本小说的基调相似。看到很多人在评论这部书的逻辑,我觉得有些搞笑。这本书的定位应该就是“科幻小说”,就像你去抗议《哈利波特》的逻辑漏...
真有donor这一天,所有搞生物的就发财了。。我的视角是不是和书的主旨南辕北辙了。。
评分书比电影更隐忍一些,而这种克制更显无力和绝望
