Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

2.0

Ishiguro's work always has a sense of eerieness that attracts me so. But frankly, I wished for more brevity. Part 4 was phenomenal and my heart panged with each complex emotion, not only Klara experienced, but with each spiderweb of those connected to Josie. The essence of the unknown, or perhaps the imenent sensation of impending doom, that constantly teetered bath and forth was portrayed masterfully in the writing. Each character painfully struggled to move forward and yet strongly clung to nothing but blind hope. Unfortunately for me, all other parts of the reading, despite it distinctively painting the tone of the fictitious world, my sympathy and connection to the characters only remained superficially and I found it tasking to read moreso than enjoyable.
