Seller Description
From the best-selling author of Never Let Me Go and The Remains of the Day, a stunning new novel—his first since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature—about the wondrous, mysterious nature of the human heart. From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans. In Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers find this work to be a profound exploration of love, loneliness, and the human condition, told through the eyes of an empathetic robot named Klara. While some praised its multi-layered narrative and thought-provoking themes, including AI, religion, and the future of humanity, others felt that parts of the plot fell flat and left too many questions unanswered. Despite the divergence in opinions about the climax and world-building, many found Klara's perspective and her gentle, human-like qualities compelling and emotionally impactful. Overall, readers agree that it is a significant literary work by Ishiguro, with several recommending it as a must-read for its deep, reflective qualities.
