About the book:
Klara and the Sun is the eighth novel by the British writer and Nobel laureate, Kazuo Ishiguro. Set in the U.S. in an unspecified future, the book is told from the point of view of Klara, a solar-powered Artificial Friend, who, from her place in the store, 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. The story looks at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
“What stays with you in ‘Klara and the Sun’ is the haunting narrative voice - a genuinely innocent, egoless perspective on the strange behavior of humans obsessed and wounded by power, status and fear.” —Booker Prize committee
