The narrator of Kazuo Ishiguro's sixth novel is a woman named Kath, a graduate of an experimental English boarding school called Hailsham who, many years later, becomes curious about the true nature of the place. Along with Tommy, one of her two best friends from those days, Kath does some research into Hailsham. What she finds is a stunning revelation about herself and her fellow graduates, and raises questions about genetic experimentation and its consequences. Ishiguro's first science-fiction novel, NEVER LET ME GO examines a philosophy that is intrinsically antihuman even as it probes deeply into its characters' touching and vulnerable humanity.
