Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
5.0
• ModernMrsDarcy.com 2021 Summer Reading Guide #MMDSummerReading
This is the story of Klara, an “Artificial Friend” with “outstanding observational qualities”, who watches browsers from her place in a shop, hopeful that one will eventually choose her. “When the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change for ever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.” Klara and the Sun is “a novel about the human heart that speaks urgently to the here and now, but from another place”.
