About this book

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro is narrated by Klara, an Artificial Friend, a robot built to be a child's companion. The book follows her from the store window where she waits to be chosen, through her life with a sick teenage girl. Ishiguro writes about loneliness and love in a way that hits hard precisely because Klara never quite understands either of them.

About the author

Kazuo Ishiguro

Born in Nagasaki in 1954 and taken to Britain at five, which left him writing about England as somebody who learned it rather than absorbed it. That distance is the whole method. The Remains of the Day gives a butler the entire novel to explain his life and lets the reader see everything he is refusing to notice.
