Scene Summary and Context Guide

In the novel Never Let Me Go, the story unfolds in a near-future world where human clones are created for organ donation. The narrative revolves around Kathy, a clone who reflects on her memories of childhood at Hailsham, a school designed to nurture clones. The story explores themes of identity, memory, and ethical dilemmas through Kathy’s recollections. The setting shifts between the innocence of youth and the darker realities of the clones’ purpose. A key aspect of the novel is how memory shapes Kathy’s understanding of her life and her connections to others. The phrase 'never let me go' symbolizes both a plea for emotional closeness and a reflection of the fragile nature of memory and existence within this science fiction context.
