About This Item
First edition, first impression. Signed by the author to the title page. Adapted to film in 2005 and shortlisted for the Booker Prize and Arthur C. Clarke Award in 2005 and 2006 respectively.
Original green cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. A fine book that is seemingly unread, in the original and unclipped dust jacket with one instance of mild wear to the top edge of upper panel, else fine.
An excellent, bright and sharp example.
Synopsis
Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy grow up in Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic boarding school. As they become adults, they learn they are clones created for organ donations. They navigate their complex relationships and confront the harsh realities of their predetermined fate. Kathy, the narrator, reflects on their shared past, the bonds they formed, and the sacrifices they are expected to make. The novel raises profound questions about love, identity, mortality, and the moral implications of scientific advancements. Ishiguro's beautifully written tale explores the profound humanity of these characters as they face their tragic destinies.
