![]() ![]() ![]() ONE OF BILL GATES'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR.ONE OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR.I won’t tell you anything about the actual story, it’s one best discovered on your own, page by exquisitely-written page, but I will say this: Klara is one of the most complex characters I’ve been introduced to in a long time and she was an absolute joy to journey with." ![]() Having just finished a few days ago, I’m already looking forward to revisiting the book with foreknowledge of the twists and turns. This happened several times and with each new development I had to regain my footing and reevaluate everything that had come before, to dig deeper for meaning, to better get to know the characters. Or so I thought.Īs I read, I was completely certain I knew the arc of the story ahead, only to have my assumptions challenged with new information. A few pages in, I figured out what AF stood for (something given away in the description on the jacket, but that was not spelled out on my advance copy) and with that realization, the scene was set for what would come next. I approached Klara and the Sun knowing virtually nothing about it, which was, I think, the best possible way. There are some books that are perfect for certain people, and I’m always happy when I read something and think 'oh, I can’t wait to tell _ about this!' Klara and the Sun is a book that I can whole-heartedly endorse for everyone who likes a good story it has so many facets that no matter what you’re looking for, Ishiguro delivers. ![]()
