“表现杰出……石黑一雄针对人类关系的磨炼做了一次深入的陈述……堪称石黑先生迄今描绘为精准、感人的一部作品。” ──英国《卫报》（The Guardian）

“作者观察细腻，即便是为平凡的事物与人际互动，也能赋予充满洞见、活跃生动的超凡想象。同时，这个反乌托邦的故事为本书积蓄特殊电荷……这是一个史诗般的伦理恐怖小说，体现有如椎心之痛的经历故事……石黑一雄创造出了一本笔锋严厉的警世小说，讽喻超越伦理纲常的科学。” ──《出版人周刊》（Publishers Weekly）

“本书无疑是创作先驱，堪为当年度不凡的小说作品。” ──英国《泰晤士报》（The Times）

From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes a devastating novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss.
As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were. Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special—and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is modern classic.
Review
“A page turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish.” — Time
“A Gothic tour de force.... A tight, deftly controlled story... . Just as accomplished [as The Remains of the Day] and, in a very different way, just as melancholy and alarming.” — The New York Times
“Elegaic, deceptively lovely.... As always, Ishiguro pulls you under.” — Newsweek
“Superbly unsettling, impeccably controlled... The book’s irresistible power comes from Ishiguro’s matchless ability to expose its dark heart in careful increments.”  — Entertainment Weekly

女孩紧紧闭上双眼，双手拥抱着过去那个友善的世界，
一个她内心明白已经不再存在的地方，但她还是紧抓着不放，
恳求它别放开她的手……
人，失去什么，是痛苦的？
享誉全球文坛亚裔作家石黑一雄，写出穿越疆界深刻的人性共鸣！
这是一段令人心碎、惴惴不安的故事，
勾勒出一幅人性的脆弱与希望、罪恶与软弱、爱与救赎的风貌，
在流顺的文字间，呈现惊人真相的伦理惊悚画面……
海尔森是一所迷人的英国寄宿学校。
然而，海尔森隐藏了一个大秘密！
在海尔森，每个学生都有一名监护人；学生们每星期都得接受某种健康检查；
他们从未学习任何有关外面世界的事物，与外界也少有接触。
他们知道总有一天会发生在他们身上的事─―器官捐赠！
他们的未来没有任何可能！
在海尔森，卡西从女孩蜕变为少女，但直到她和好友鲁思、汤米离开这个安全国度以后，他们才真正明了全部的真相，而且逐渐发现，记忆中美好的成长过程，处处皆是无法追寻的骇人问号；
他们的寿命将随着“器官捐献”而慢慢步入死亡……
As a child, Kathy—now thirty-one years old—lived at Hailsham, a private school in the scenic English countryside where the children were sheltered from the outside world, brought up to believe that they were special and that their well-being was crucial not only for themselves but for the society they would eventually enter. Kathy had long ago put this idyllic past behind her, but when two of her Hailsham friends come back into her life, she stops resisting the pull of memory. And so, as her friendship with Ruth is rekindled, and as the feelings that long ago fueled her adolescent crush on Tommy begin to deepen into love, Kathy recalls their years at Hailsham. She describes happy scenes of boys and girls growing up together, unperturbed—even comforted—by their isolation. But she describes other scenes as well—of discord and misunderstanding that hint at a dark secret behind Hailsham’s nurturing facade. With the dawning clarity of hindsight, the three friends are compelled to face the truth about their childhood—and about their lives now.
