Historia
1948, Japan. The celebrated painter Masuji Ono fills his days attending to his garden, his house repairs, his two grown daughters and his grandson; his evenings drinking with old associates in quiet lantern-lit bars. His should be a tranquil retirement. But as his memories continually return to the past - to a life and a career deeply touched by the rise of Japanese militarism - a dark shadow begins to grow over his serenity.

Historia
In one of the most acclaimed novels of recent years, Kazuo Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewed version of contemporary England. Narrated by Kathy, now thirty-one, Never Let Me Go dramatizes her attempts to come to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School and with the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world.

Historia
A land-surveyor, known only as K., arrives at a small village permanently covered in snow and dominated by a castle to which access seems permanently denied. K.'s attempts to discover why he has been called constantly run up against the peasant villagers, who are in thrall to the absurd bureaucracy that keeps the castle shut, and the rigid hierarchy of power among the self-serving bureaucrats themselves.

Historia
Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context. This volume is a doorway into a captivating world.

Masterpiece
Dystopic science fiction but also a beautiful portrait of the mind of a kind robot.

stunning
surprising, sometimes tough on people, their emotional mess and inability to truly connect and be frank

Much to consider
As the risk of sounding cynical, I found the 'what it is to love' theme of only secondary interest here. I much preferred the AI implications, especially the known unknowns of how an AI 'reasons'. Even Klara's novel perspective of parceling stimuli into overlapping boxes was a useful reminder of how humans default to the human experience of awareness as the universal gold standard (spare a thought for the animal kingdom). Not wild about the narrator though - a more neutral accent would have suited me better... Juliet Stevenson I'm thinking would have been spot on.

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
Brilliant all round. My first Ishiguro and on audible at that. Love his writing and this outstanding performance has sparked a flame.

Beautiful, serene storytelling
Insightful, beautiful, terrible story of love, togetherness and what it is to be human, all from a naïve narrator you can't help but fall in love with yourself. Highly recommend.

Klara and the Sun
In a timely where AI is becoming more mainstream, it won't be long before robots like Klara operate in the real world. The book makes you think, like good books should.

Good, but lacks punch.
Excellent, clear narrator who captured the AI personality perfectly. The book was engaging but lacked punch throughout, always promising a twist but never delivering a satisfying one.

Decent naïvist SF marred by terrible accent
First person narrative told from the perspective of an Artificial Friend. Many timely and interesting themes. The narrator's attempt at British English is terrible and really took me out of the story. Otherwise decent if slightly slow narration.

Starts out great but falls flat
Apart from the narrator being pretty atrocious with weird repetitive inflection and attempts at accents, the story starts out great but falls flat from the middle towards the end. There was great potential for exploring interesting concepts that never quite came to fruition.

Wonderful - but some issues with narration
Wonderful story about the nature of humanity, love, and faith.
Narration was good - slightly flat as befitting the android character. However, it fell down in distracting ways (for this English listener) when voicing an 'English' character. Sounded more patrician NY than actually British, and apparently the main characteristic of the accent is to put stresses on the wrong words AND sylLABles. Really annoying, but I tried to get past it
