From the publisher

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY TAIKA WAITITI AND STARRING JENNA ORTEGA AND AMY ADAMS - A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - A BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE - From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Never Let Me Go and The Remains of the Day, a magnificent novel about the wondrous, mysterious nature of the human heart. “A masterpiece that will make you think about life, mortality, the saving grace of love: in short, the all of it.” –Maureen Corrigan, NPR Here is the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, 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. A thrilling feat of world-building and a novel of exquisite tenderness and impeccable restraint, Klara and the Sun is a magnificent achievement, one that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore the fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
