From the Booker Prize-winning author of <i><b>The Remains of the Day</b> </i>comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were. <br><br>Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, <b>Never Let Me Go</b><i> </i>is another classic by the author of <b>The Remains of the Day</b>.

"I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much. The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how it is with us. It's a shame, Kath, because we've loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can't stay together forever."
Anyone who also didn’t like this book too? I was underwhelmed after finishing it last night and felt bad seeing everyone's glowing reviews. I was like, 'Did I miss the whole point of the book?' Haha 😅
