In keeping with the sci-fi bent present in recent selections, 2005's "Never Let Me Go" by Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro was one of the year's best books, shortlisted for awards including the Man Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke award. The novel takes place in 1990s England and explores the lives of students at an exclusive boarding school, delving into themes of friendship, memories, and the essence of humanity.
*Goodreads Summary*: Kathy, now thirty-one years old, reflects on her time at Hailsham, an elite private school in the scenic English countryside where children were raised to believe their uniqueness and well-being were of profound importance for their future contribution to society. As past friendships resurface, Kathy ceases to resist nostalgic memories. Her bond with Ruth is rekindled, and her feelings for Tommy, once dormant, evolve into deeper affection. Kathy recounts moments of joy from their upbringing, juxtaposed with subtle tensions and secrets hinting at a hidden truth behind Hailsham's nurturing facade. In hindsight, the trio confronts the reality of their upbringing and present lives.
