Never Let Me Go

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

An elegant hardback edition of one of the Nobel Prize-winning author's most acclaimed novels - a moving and stunningly original love story with a startling twist.

As children, Kathy, Ruth and Tommy attended an exclusive boarding school in the English countryside. Idyllic in some ways yet vaguely sinister, Hailsham was a place of intense friendships, mysterious rules, and 'guardians' who constantly reminded the students how special they were.

Now thirty-one, Kathy looks back on their shared past and tells how she and her friends gradually came to understand the shocking reason for the careful nurturing they had received. An affecting meditation on friendship, love and mortality.
