#36 Klara and the Sun by Kazua Ishiguro


Quote
From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.

I had high hopes for this book, having read Never Let Her Go. The potential was there but the themes just weren't developed. Disappointing.
