Kath, Ruth and Tommy were pupils at Hailsham in the 1990s; an idyllic school in the English countryside, where children were brought up to believe that their personal well-being was essential to society. But why were they brought together there? Years later, Kath tries to find meaning in their shared past. With Ruth and Tommy, she realizes that their seemingly happy childhood has never ceased to haunt them, to the point of adulterating their adult lives. Kazuo Ishiguro deals with subjects that affect us closely: the loss of innocence, the importance of memory, the value that everyone places on others. This masterpiece of anticipation tells a story of humanity and love in contemporary England. It is destined to become the classic of our fragile lives.
