Never Let Me Go

Book Review

«Never Let Me Go» by Kazuo Ishiguro, published in 2005, is one of the author's most renowned works. It is a story of friendship, love, and loss, narrated by Kathy H., a student of the special school Hailsham, which at first appears to be an idyllic institution. However, the dark reality of the students' purpose gradually unfolds before the reader. The novel impresses with its depth and storytelling mastery, Ishiguro's ability to discuss complex ethical issues through the lens of personal stories. The themes addressed in the book—moral dilemmas of cloning, the meaning of life and human relationships, as well as questions of memory and oblivion—make it not only an engaging narrative but also a profound philosophical work. «Never Let Me Go» raises challenging questions about the nature of the soul and societal norms, leaving a lasting resonance.
