From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.

Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.

Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.

Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

只是因为姓氏的相同，村上春树与村上龙在日本文坛被称为“双村上”，但在中国读者心中村上春树的地位要高于村上龙很多。同样只是因为相似的背景，石黑一雄与拉什迪、奈保尔并称为“英国文坛移民三雄”，但石黑一雄的国际主义风格却完全看不出移民作家的痕迹。我一直觉得把...

很多人大概会觉得跟克隆人有关的一定是科幻小说。 我并不认为这本书可以划入普遍意义上的科幻小说里。 虽然这本书是以未来为背景，但他所描写的日常生活细节与我们并无二样，充满了真实感，而且细腻的感情描写引人入胜。就像是不久以后，就像是几十年以后会发生的事情一样。 小...  

用户评价

you are be told, you are not be totally told.

口碑再好我也得吐槽。1.作者成功用英文写出了黏糊温吞的日式叙述风格和节奏。2.题材取巧，写法取巧。用第一人称回忆青少年时代伊甸园，好处是容易让读者产生感情共鸣，又规避了描写更大构架的世界观，坏处是人物平面节奏拖沓对于背景设定无法令人信服。可能有人说瑕不掩瑜，我是觉得在这种瑕疵下进一步探讨人性等于自己竖靶来打。3.感情渲染确实不错。

不言明的悲伤

这本书可以说的东西其实太多了。和Ruth的那些谈话，充满包容和理解的友情乃至于在人际交往中所有的微妙与不言而喻。他们一直都很慢，于是只能被动前行，溺死在河流中。也许他们是他人利益的牺牲品，可大多数人的命运何尝不是大同小异。 这样说起来好像蜘蛛女之吻。
