Kathy, Ruth and Tommy were pupils at Hailsham - an idyllic establishment situated deep in the English countryside. The children there were tenderly sheltered from the outside world, brought up to believe they were special, and that their personal welfare was crucial. But for what reason were they really there? It is only years later that Kathy, now aged 31, finally allows herself to yield to the pull of memory and try to make sense of the past. What unfolds is an extraordinarily powerful story in which Kathy, Ruth and Tommy slowly come to realise that it is their seemingly happy childhood that has haunted them ever since, even tainting their adult lives. Part love story, part mystery, "Never Let Me Go" is a uniquely beautiful and troubling novel, charged throughout with a profound emotional depth.

Ein Speisesaal, ein Sportplatz und getrennte Schlafsäle für Jungen und Mädchen - auf den ersten Blick scheint Hailsham ein ganz gewöhnliches Internat zu sein. Aber die Lehrer, so freundlich und engagiert sie auch sind, heißen hier "Wächter" und lassen die Kinder früh spüren, dass ihnen ein besonderes Schicksal auferlegt worden ist. Diese Gewissheit verbindet Kathy, Ruth und Tommy durch alle Stürme der Pubertät und Verwirrungen der Liebe - bis für zwei von ihnen das Ende naht.§Ein anrührendes und ungewöhnlich spannendes Meisterwerk über Menschen, deren Leben auf beklemmende Weise vorherbestimmt ist.
