Never Let Me Go is a 2005 dystopian science fiction novel by Japanese-born British author Kazuo Ishiguro. It was shortlisted for the 2005 Booker Prize.
In Hailsham, a boarding school in England, the teachers, known as “guardians”, tell the students that keeping healthy is extremely important. The curriculum does not teach life skills but encourages the students to produce art. The best artwork is chosen by a woman known as “Madame”, who takes the art with her when she leaves. Students believe she keeps their work in a gallery. Three Hailsham students, Ruth, Tommy, and Kathy, develop a close but complicated friendship. Kathy develops a fondness for Tommy, looking after him when he is bullied and having talks with him beside the pond.
Miss Lucy reveals that the Hailsham children are clones, created to be “donors” that provide vital organs for “normals” through a series of “donations” that eventually lead to the donor’s death, or “completion”. Ruth and Tommy begin a romantic relationship.
