NEVER LET ME GO: "As children, Kath, Ruth, and Tommy lived in Hailsham, a private school in the English countryside where the students, sheltered from the outside world, were brought up to believe that their well-being was crucial not only to themselves but also to the society they would eventually enter. It was an idyllic time, which they have long since put behind them. As adults, after years of separation, their paths cross again. Memories are rekindled: happy scenes of boys and girls growing up together unperturbed--even comforted--by their isolation. But something else emerges: a sense of discord and misunderstanding that hints at a dark secret behind Hailsham's nurturing facade. With the dawning clarity of hindsight, the three friends find they must face the truth about their childhood--and about their lives now. A novel of unusual beauty and extraordinary emotional resonance--among the finest work of this brilliant writer." [publisher copy] "So exquisitely observed that even the most workaday objects and interactions are infused with a luminous, humming otherworldliness. An epic ethical horror story, told in devastatingly poignant miniature. Ishiguro spins a stinging cautionary tale of science outpacing ethics."--Publishers Weekly. "Perfect pacing and infinite subtlety--a masterpiece of craftsmanship that offers an unparalleled emotional experience. Send a copy to the Swedish Academy."--Kirkus Reviews. "As in so much of the best dystopian fiction, the power of NEVER LET ME GO to move and disturb arises from the persistence of human warmth in a chilly universe--and in its ability to make us see ourselves through its uncanny mirror. Is Ishiguro commenting on biotechnology, reproductive science, the cognitive dissonance necessary for life under late-stage capitalism? He'd never be so didactic as to tell you. What lies at the heart of this beautiful book is not social satire, but deep compassion."--NYT 100 Best Books. + THE BURIED GIANT: "In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven't seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, THE BURIED GIANT is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory." [publisher copy] "An exceptional novel. THE BURIED GIANT does what important books do: It remains in the mind long after it has been read, refusing to leave."--Neil Gaiman. "Ishiguro is an original and remarkable genius."--Louis Menand, The New York Times Book Review.
