Klara and the sun review6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Josie is the lucky girl who brings Klara home, and in the years ahead we learn about the present day society and the difference between “lifted” children and those who are not “lifted”. ![]() Klara’s intense observational powers provide her a greater insight into her surroundings than the other AFs. Klara is an unusual AF with a high level of intelligence and what almost appears to be empathy. We meet Klara, an Artificial Friend (AF) waiting in the AF store to be purchased. It takes some time in reading this novel about Artificial Friends (robots) of the future to really understand what exactly is happening. I really loved this book, but the reviews are mixed… Ishiguro’s strength lies in his ability to create stories about the banality of everyday life, all while generating such strong emotional pull, sometimes horrific sadness and grief and often deep human connection. ![]() Fans of Handmaids Tale will enjoy Klara and the Sun. However, Klara and the Sun feels more like his work Never Let Me Go, a near future look at our society and the sad and disturbing direction things may go. Here is my book review Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.įans of Ishiguro will likely love his latest work, his first since winning the Nobel Prize for literature in 2017 for The Remains of the Day. Once again the brilliance of Ishiguro unfolds in the pages of this strange but emotionally gripping book. ![]()
