Elevés à Hailsham, une école anglaise idyllique où les enfants sont protégés du monde extérieur, Kath, Ruth et Tommy ont été éduqués dans la conviction que leur bien-être personnel était essentiel, non seulement pour eux-mêmes, mais également pour la société au sein de laquelle ils auraient un jour à prendre leur place. Bien des années plus tard, Kath s'interroge sur le sens de leur éducation.

None

Maybe it's that I'd seen the film and knew every path the story would take, maybe it's that Ishiguro managed to make Kathy sound eerily like ChatGPT, maybe it's the annoyance at people telling me this isn't "Sci-Fi" but REAL literature, but something about this didn't quite grab me. It's a good piece of worldbuilding and good narrative trickery, and I do like that there's no big action setpieces, but... at least ONE look from outside? At least ONE moment of at least thinking about refusing? I like it, but can't shake the idea that Ishiguro says in 318 pages what LeGuin's Omelas said in 4.

The tension of living

5 stjärnor

The disturbing premise of the novel is revealed quickly, but daily life just continues. It creates a tension that lasts all through the story. Although there's no need for a big reveal, the journey becomes heartbreaking.

Although the novel's premise could be called science fiction, it's a character-driven literary work.
