Details
Klara and the Sun is a magnificent new novel from the Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro--author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize-winning The Remains of the Day.
Klara and the Sun, the first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, tells the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful a customer will soon choose her.
Klara and the Sun is a thrilling book that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
In its award citation in 2017, the Nobel committee described Ishiguro's books as "novels of great emotional force" and said he has "uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world."

To be honest, I bought this book because the cover looks interesting and I kinda like the synopsis. I don't have a lot of expectation on this book, but WOW. The story is not complicated yet I can relate to the characters, especially Klara. I think this books show the reality of human feelings, which can't be described or recreated. It also shows the sincerity, that we nowadays are lack of. This is the first book from Sir Kazuo Ishiguro OBE, that I've read, but surely this is not the last.
