Never Let Me Go by Kazuo IshiguroAlfred A. Knopf, 2005

Long highways connecting the countryside, connections between places, connections between people. The sense of a vague and shadowy world: a world the narrator doesn’t know, not really, and a world that the reader can’t know, either. This book is about love and sadness, the relentlessness of motion and distance, how the past is lost to us and maybe the future is too.
