But they never tell us for sure.’ I’d been wondering for a while if this would come up, and I’d been thinking about how I’d respond. If you knew for certain you’d complete, it would be easier. Tommy, the person she has been closest to since childhood, is soon to be operated on for his fourth and final ‘donation’: ‘You know why it is, Kath, why everyone worries so much about the fourth? It’s because they’re not sure they’ll really complete. This is made explicit, in spite of the narrator’s reluctance, in the final chapter. It’s as well to be clear that, the restraint and understatement notwithstanding, it is a horror story. Never Let Me Go is the most restrained and understated horror story imaginable. Don’t read on if you don’t already know, and wish to remain in the dark about, what happens in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel. This is a discussion intended for people who have already read Never Let Me Go. ![]() ![]() Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go ‘Most of the time, people don’t want to think about it’ ![]()
