Review of 'Klara and the Sun' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Beautifully written, and I think it’s going to haunt me in the same way that "Never Let Me Go" did. It explores important issues and raises some difficult questions about humanity. I like the way that, through much of the novel, certain dystopian aspects of life are more hinted at than described explicitly; I think that adds a nice element of mystery – or perhaps suspense would be a better word for it. Also, Klara must be one of the most sensitive characters/narrators I've ever encountered, which is quite something considering the context.
