Set in a dystopian world, Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguru, follows the life of human clones who donate their organs when they reach young adulthood. The main character; Kathy is reminiscing about her life at Hailsham, a boarding school for future “donors”.

The three of them examine how they are different from the real world. After the fact, they are set on a quest to fit in with the rest of the world, and even to find real love.
