‘Do you believe in the human heart? I don’t mean simply the organ, obviously. I’m speaking in the poetic sense. The human heart. Do you think there is such a thing? Something that makes each of us special and individual?’
Klara and the Sun was a beautiful read from start to finish. My first Ishiguro novel, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It’s a slow paced book, but one which takes you on a wonderful journey.
Klara’s innocent optimism, her love for Josie, and her her dedication to do everything I’m her power to help her and her family was what made this book what it is. Sure, one can argue that this book looks at Al, at technology, and how far we can go with it, but at its heart, Klara and the Sun is a book about the power of a beautiful friendship and of the love one has for another.
It is a book that one has to savour, and I would recommend that you don’t read it all in one sitting, even though that is totally possible. I will definitely be revising it again!

Unless DJL is much mistaken, these are they wot contain the Tall Girl poems. Which probably shouldn’t be available for public consumption, but hey ho, they’re fine looking tomes.

Also from Faber Members is this very cute dog on the cover of Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being. It’ll set you back £50, but how can you resist those eyes?

If, furthermore, you happen to have found £100 in an even older pair of jeans, it’ll buy you a signed and very, very pretty Faber Members (pfffft) edition of Orhan Pamuk’s My Name Is Red.
