Ishiguro's novel ," Never Let Me Go" is very thought provoking and well written. Set in alternate 1990s in an English Countryside, the novel demands lots of thought from the readers. Though the novel can be classified as science fiction, there is no real science out there. Although it is about cloning, the author doesn't dwell much on the science like where the clones come from? How are they kept alive? The novel deals more on the characters lives and their realtionship with each other. Though, often we find the characters in science fiction to be more rebellious, the characters in this novel don't really rebel. Thus, the question is left to the audience to answer. The writer is giving very little detail as the novel progresses to determine the plot and that makes the novel more interesting. There is touch of irony and humour however the tone of the narrator throughout the novel is emphatic. The novel also deals on existential questions like what it means to be human, what is soul? what really distinguishes human and soul? Thus, identity is also an important theme in the novel. A very good novel from the author of the "THE REMAINS OF THE DAY".
