Never Let Me Go
ByPublisher Description
NOBEL PRIZE WINNER • From the acclaimed, bestselling author of The Remains of the Day comes “a Gothic tour de force" (The New York Times) with an extraordinary twist—a moving, suspenseful, beautifully atmospheric modern classic.
One of The New York Times’s 10 Best Books of the 21st Century • A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century • A Los Angeles Times Best Fiction Book of the Last 30 Years
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.
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.

3.5
“The book has this eerie kind of silence that comes with being left in the dark for so long, it's a book about what makes us human and absolutely broke my heart. I'd definitely recommend it⭐”
“me costo mucho leer el libro, no me atrapo pero aún así sentía curiosidad en saber como iba a terminar.
pienso que le falto explorar y profundizar la trama.”
