Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur Kathy, Ruth and Tommy were pupils at Hailsham - an idyllic establishment situated deep in the English countryside. The children there were tenderly sheltered from the outside world, brought up to believe they were special, and that their personal welfare was crucial. But for what reason were they really there? It is only years later that Kathy, now aged 31, finally allows herself to yield to the pull of memory. What unfolds is the haunting story of how Kathy, Ruth and Tommy, slowly come to face the truth about their seemingly happy childhoods - and about their futures. Never Let Me Go is uniquely moving novel, charged throughout with a sense of the fragility of our lives. Biographie de l'auteur Kazuo Ishiguro is the hugely acclaimed author of five previous novels: A Pale View of Hills, An Artist of the Floating World, The Remains of the Day (1989 Winner of the Booker Prize), The Unconsoled (1995 Winner of the Cheltenham Prize) and When We Were Orphans (2000, shortlisted for the Booker Prize). He received an OBE for Services to Literature in 1995, and the French decoration of the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1998.
