Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I could easily see David Lynch making a movie of this book. I found Klara, the AF narrator, quite lovable, and the way Kazuo showed how her inner mind worked was genius. I also liked how he hinted at darker developments in the society at large (fascism, out of control AIs, stratification) without ever turning focus to that fully. A work of great imagination like all of his books are.
