APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
It should come as no surprise that the celebrated author of Never Let Me Go and The Buried Giant can find a way to weave subtle genre elements into a grounded story about the nature of humanity. Kazuo Ishiguro does exactly that—again—in Klara and the Sun, a novel about an outdated companion android who’s been assigned to a family with trauma in its recent past. As we see this family through the innocence of Klara’s eyes, we come to learn why they are suffering. Ishiguro transcends the limitations of conventional sci-fi with this soulful fable about how to appreciate what we have (and no longer have). Narrated with great tenderness by Sura Siu, this audiobook has also inspired a film adaptation directed by Taika Waititi and starring Jenna Ortega in the titular role.
