À propos de cet audio
From the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and Klara and the Sun, comes “a Gothic tour de force" (The New York Times) with an extraordinary twist—a moving, suspenseful, beautifully atmospheric modern classic.
Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well-tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.
Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 2
On the hottest day in 1935, and on the brink of a world war, three children lose their innocence as the sweltering summer heat bears down and their lives are changed forever. Cecilia Tallis is of England's privileged class; Robbie Turner is the housekeeper's son. In their moment of intimate surrender, they are interrupted by Cecilia's hyper-imaginative and scheming 13-year-old sister, Briony. As chaos consumes the family, Briony commits a crime, the guilt of which she shall carry throughout her life.

Sixteen-year-old Nomi Nickel longs to hang out with Lou Reed and Marianne Faithfull in New York City's East Village. Instead she's trapped in East Village, Manitoba, a small town whose population is Mennonite: "the most embarrassing sub-sect of people to belong to if you're a teenager." East Village is a town with no train and no bar whose job prospects consist of slaughtering chickens at the Happy Family Farms abattoir or churning butter for tourists at the pioneer village.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 33
From the creator of the beloved and universally acclaimed television series BoJack Horseman, a fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love - the best and worst thing in the universe. Equally at home with the surreal and the painfully relatable (and both at once), Bob-Waksberg delivers a killer combination of humor, romance, whimsy, cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability.

"Ishiguro’s provocative subject matter and taut, potent prose have earned him multiple literary decorations, including the French government’s Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and an Order of the British Empire for service to literature. . . . In this luminous offering, he nimbly navigates the landscape of emotion—the inevitable link between present and past and the fine line between compassion and cruelty, pleasure and pain." (Booklist)

Thought Provoking
Great story! Slow start though. The theme doesn’t really reveal until halfway through. Good thing I didn’t give up.

Not much of a plot but fantastic character development. I really felt attached to the characters in the end and felt sad to see them go. The social commentary, though brief, was profound.

A lovely story. I am not sure that it is not better than Remains of the Day. Certainly the performance is very well done. A beautiful book beautifully read.

Devastatingly understated and beautifully read!
I was deeply moved by this simply told enigmatic story and don’t really know why since my life experience is quite different from the characters… how marvellous! Maybe it’s because powerful inner feelings and how we live with them are universal to us all no matter our backgrounds…
I could listen to Rosalyn Landor read the dictionary! Her voice is smooth and gently soothing, and evokes in my mind’s eye the first time I saw this beautiful actor so long ago playing opposite Jeremy Brett’s Sherlock Holmes in 1980s television… Highly recommended!

A great novel read brilliantly by Rosalyn Landor. I have read this in print and listened to the audiobook. Landor's reading makes the audiobook better.

Beautiful story. Thought provoking leaves you thinking about the characters for days. Generally I listen to books to and from work. This one I also listened to while painting in the evening.
