Ein schrecklich frustrierender Roman, dessen Sprache zwar zu Beginn über die verpassten Handlungsstränge hinwegbegeistert, auf Dauer aber leider auch nicht davon ablenken kann. Die Geschichte hat sehr viel Potenzial und ist unglaublich spannend, was es noch schwerer macht, dieses Buch nicht bereits nach der Hälfte aufzugeben. Kathy hinterfragt nichts, nicht einmal kommt ihr der Gedanke, dass es doch irgendwie nicht richtig sein kann, was ihr hier passiert. Bei weitem nicht das schlimmste Buch, das ich je gelesen habe, aber ein unangenehm wütend machendes. Das mag das Ziel des Autors gewesen sein, allerdings denke ich, dass man das anders hätte umsetzen sollen.

Beschreibung
Winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature.In one of the most memorable novels of recent years, Kazuo Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewered version of contemporary England. Narrated by Kathy, now 31, Never Let Me Go hauntingly 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. A story of love, friendship and memory, Never Let Me Go is charged throughout with a sense of the fragility of life.If you enjoyed Never Let Me Go, you might also like Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day, now available in Faber Modern Classics.
