Never let me go

One of the first books he gave me was an Ishiguro's.

Perhaps it was because of this that I first got drawn to the book.

Or perhaps it was the title itself

And knowing it was Ishiguro's drew me closer still

I can't quite describe the book.

I tried, but I'll just say I'll never do it justice.

Ishiguro is a sort of genius - the really rare kind. 

'I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much, The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how it is with us.'

- Kazuo Ishiguro, Never let me go
