This Week I Am Reading… Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

Thursday 29 September 2022

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass in the street outside. She remains hopeful a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change for ever, 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 world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

The video below is a short review of Klara and the Sun by vlogger and author of The Uni-Verse: The Ultimate University Survival Guide,  Jack Edwards. Jack's YouTube reviews are delightedly enthusiastic, and if any of our students are undertaking the latest Newsletter team challenge - to capture a 1 minute book review video, this video is definitely worth a watch.
