Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
Klara and the Sun is the first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2017.
'A masterpiece of great beauty, meticulous control and, as ever, clear, simple prose' - Sunday Times
'Another masterwork, a work that makes us feel afresh the beauty and fragility of our humanity' - Observer
'Intelligent, beautiful, mesmeric and a breeze to read - what more could you want?' - Metro
'A delicate, haunting story, steeped in sorrow and hope.'- The Washington Post
'For four decades now, Ishiguro has written eloquently about the balancing act of remembering without succumbing irrevocably to the past. Memory and the accounting of memory, its burdens and its reconciliation, have been his subjects... Klara and the Sun complements [Ishiguro's] brilliant vision...There's no narrative instinct more essential, or more human.' - The New York Times Book Review
'A prayer is a postcard asking for a favor, sent upward. Whether our postcards are read by anyone has become the searching doubt of Ishiguro's recent novels, in which this master, so utterly unlike his peers, goes about creating his ordinary, strange, godless allegories.' - The New Yorker
'Few writers who've ever lived have been able to create moods of transience, loss and existential self-doubt as Ishiguro has - not art about the feelings, but the feelings themselves.' - The Los Angeles Times
