Never Let Me Go — Coleman’s Notes® Student Guide Kazuo Ishiguro | CN-SG027 | 68 Pages |

Friendship. Memory. What it means to be human.

A comprehensive, exam-focused guide to Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, created primarily for GCSE and A Level students.

Follow Kathy, Ruth and Tommy from their childhood at Hailsham through the Cottages and into adulthood as the truth about their identities and futures gradually emerges.

This detailed Coleman’s Notes® guide explores Ishiguro’s novel as much more than a dystopian story about cloning. It examines its profound treatment of friendship, love, mortality, memory, identity, freedom, conformity and what it means to be human.
