Never Let Me Go

In the hauntingly beautiful narrative of Never Let Me Go, Ishiguro introduces us to Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy, raised at a secluded English boarding school, Hailsham. As they grow up, the trio becomes aware of the true, sinister purpose behind their upbringing, questioning the value of human life, love, and the heartbreaking realities of existence. It’s a profound meditation on mortality, friendship, and what makes us inherently human.

The Remains of the Day

Winner of the Man Booker Prize, The Remains of the Day is a poignant reflection on dignity, professionalism, and the passage of time. Set against the backdrop of post-war England, this beautifully crafted tale is narrated by Stevens, an English butler who reminisces about his time serving Lord Darlington and his unacknowledged feelings for Miss Kenton. As he drives through the English countryside, the lines between duty, love, and missed opportunities blur in this melancholic tale.

As he delves into the labyrinth of memories and the chaos of a city on the brink of war, the lines between childhood fantasies and adult realities begin to blur. This gripping narrative deals with personal obsession and the impact of the past on the present.

The Buried Giant

At its core, it is a poignant story of love and the lengths a couple will go to hold onto their shared memories.
