A review by kdawn999
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
4.0
A touching story of a robot’s faith, and the testing of it.
This book is using many of the devices and questions of Never Let Me Go, but to me they are put to better use in Klara and the Sun. The information withholding which makes for an interesting glimpse of a troubled future is more believable since Klara narrates the whole and has a pure, believable innocence about her. I thought the little turns the story takes were interesting all the way through. It’s a simple story of service and love, and Ishiguro always excels at leaving a haunting shadow at the close.
