Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another beautiful, sad book from Kazuo Ishiguro. Ostensibly a dystopian novel about future society, where androids are available as companions for teenage children, it is - to me - mostly about human loneliness and frailty. The android's "bargaining with God" is an unusually powerful scene and the poignant final chapter left me thinking about the novel for several days and made me want to re-read the novel soon.
