Never Let Me Go (Vintage International)
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. Never Let Me Go follows Kathy as she grows from schoolgirl to young woman at Hailsham, a seemingly pleasant English boarding school. 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.

Under no circumstance do we consider the narrator or the others in this book as "less than" in any way. However, after the fact, one might consider the general topic of the book with our own thoughts about the subject now and in the past. (Trying to word this carefully to avoid a spoiler.)
Here's the mark of a good book, that you keep thinking about it long after you've finished reading it.
