The Book Club book

Klara is an Artificial Friend  - a humanoid machine with exceptional observational abilities.  She hopes that a customer will pick her, but is warned not to expect too much in the promises of humans.

In Klara and The Sun, British Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our quickly changing world through the eyes of a unique and memorable narrator.  What does it mean to love?

 "What stays with you in 'Klara and the Sun' is the haunting narrative voice - a genuinely innocent, egoless perspective on the strange behavior of humans obsessed and wounded by power, status and fear." --Booker Prize committee
