From the acclaimed author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, a moving new novel that subtly reimagines our world and time in a haunting story of friendship and love.
As a child, Kathy–now thirty-one years old–lived at Hailsham, a private school in the scenic English countryside where the children were sheltered from the outside world, brought up to believe that they were special and that their well-being was crucial not only for themselves but for the society they would eventually enter. Kathy had long ago put this idyllic past behind her, but when two of her Hailsham friends come back into her life, she stops resisting the pull of memory.
And so, as her friendship with Ruth is rekindled, and as the feelings that long ago fueled her adolescent crush on Tommy begin to deepen into love, Kathy recalls their years at Hailsham. She describes happy scenes of boys and girls growing up together, unperturbed–even comforted–by their isolation. But she describes other scenes as well: of discord and misunderstanding that hint at a dark secret behind Hailsham’s nurturing facade. With the dawning clarity of hindsight, the three friends are compelled to face the truth about their childhood–and about their lives now.
A tale of deceptive simplicity, Never Let Me Go slowly reveals an extraordinary emotional depth and resonance–and takes its place among Kazuo Ishiguro’s finest work.

前阵子又看了一遍电影，那种绝望重新弥漫上来，又翻开书看了一遍。电影下面好多抗议说他们长大后为什么不逃，这是正常世界长大的人的视角和发问，却不是Hailsham长大的孩子要处理的问题。Hailsham的存在就是要处理潜移默化和接受命运的问题（对我来说又是乌托邦的吊诡形式）。它的视角选取非常聪明，始终限定在Kathy的视线里，跟着孩子的视角一起，在平淡的语气里开始了这段旅程，待到慢慢反应过来，一下子心...前阵子又看了一遍电影，那种绝望重新弥漫上来，又翻开书看了一遍。电影下面好多抗议说他们长大后为什么不逃，这是正常世界长大的人的视角和发问，却不是Hailsham长大的孩子要处理的问题。Hailsham的存在就是要处理潜移默化和接受命运的问题（对我来说又是乌托邦的吊诡形式）。它的视角选取非常聪明，始终限定在Kathy的视线里，跟着孩子的视角一起，在平淡的语气里开始了这段旅程，待到慢慢反应过来，一下子心惊。My name is Kathy H.

Powerful end~ makes the programmed sadness a bit more profound~ but most of the time the book is just too flat or even tedious, didn’t really enjoy my reading until the last bit
Personally I love this book. What I'm not comfortable with is the description given in the rating. Instead of judgemental phrase like '推荐', I prefer something more personal like 'like it' or 'love it'. Now comes to the book. I have to admit, at first I ...

黑石非常善于用平实的文字、以富有韵味的组合来描写细微的心理活动，难怪中文版看了两次都停滞在第4章，而英文版却欢畅得多。有些东西真是翻译力所不能及的。

石黑一雄在《长日将尽》里给我的印象非常好，但是这本小说的前1/3在Hailsham的部分有点劝退。我记得马未都说《看上去很美》写得不好是因为王朔需要鲜活的生活场景做小说底色，凭印象写这么多年前发生的童年记忆或者靠脑补很难写得生动，石黑一雄写小女孩的童年也是一个毛病，他那些细腻的心思赋予一位中年管家很恰当但是当叙述人变成了一个初中甚至小学年龄段的女生就怪怪的，尤其这本书几乎是100%第一人称视角，完... 石黑一雄在《长日将尽》里给我的印象非常好，但是这本小说的前1/3在Hailsham的部分有点劝退。我记得马未都说《看上去很美》写得不好是因为王朔需要鲜活的生活场景做小说底色，凭印象写这么多年前发生的童年记忆或者靠脑补很难写得生动，石黑一雄写小女孩的童年也是一个毛病，他那些细腻的心思赋予一位中年管家很恰当但是当叙述人变成了一个初中甚至小学年龄段的女生就怪怪的，尤其这本书几乎是100%第一人称视角，完全靠女主内心活动和对话推进剧情的时候，看多了真的有点累。石黑一雄的文笔还是非常好，用他的叙述方式讲一个围绕伦理矛盾的科幻故事也非常有新意，是我跟这本书的频率产生不了共鸣。 (展开)

我明白这种娓娓道来的细腻克制的文风是作者特点，但有时候又觉得是真墨迹啊...以及亮点是文风，但科幻设定完全不符合社会学规律——就是说，把一群受过教育的能读能写的学生就这样放生到正常社会里，怎么可能没有地下反抗运动LOL
