58. Never Let Me Go – Kazuo Ishiguro

It’s good to know that no matter how removed from normal society you are, teenagers will still get jealous and petty.

Not surprisingly, Ishiguro tells the story of some clones with a lot more maudlin panache than my summary. It’s a very English read. There are pretty sentences, some stiff upper lipping, some pining, a slowly unwinding mystery, and a main character who never really gets what she needs – just like a lot of the vulnerable.
