"NEVER LET ME GO" by Kazuo Ishiguro will be our book pic for Sun. Jan 2
All children should believe they are special. But the students of Hailsham, an elite school in the English countryside, are so special that visitors shun them, and only by rumor and the occasional fleeting remark by a teacher do they discover their unconventional origins and strange destiny. Kazuo Ishiguro's sixth novel, Never Let Me Go, is a masterpiece of indirection. Like the students of Hailsham, readers are "told but not told" what is going on and should be allowed to discover the secrets of Hailsham and the truth about these children on their own.
Thanks all those attending the December meeting.
Have a Happy Holiday and New Year and HAPPY READING!

I am ready for it to speed up a little, It's like I keep reading the same thing. But I like the build up of anticipation to what is happening and I like how childlike and new everything is to them.
