It couldn't last of course





but like I say, just for those few months, we somehow managed to live in this cosy state of suspension in which we could ponder our lives without the usual boundaries. Looking back now, it feels like we spent ages in that steamed up kitchen after breakfast, or huddled around half-dead fires in the small hours, lost in conversation about our plans for the future.




Never Let Me Go. Kazuo Ishiguro.

  1. I absolutely LOVED this book. It left me feeling so melancholy though! Have you seen the trailer for the movie? It looks good.

  2. It's such an amazing book, I absolutely loved it too. Actually I saw the film already, it is good (not as good as the book though) - I cried so, so, so much when I watched it. Even after it was over I couldn't stop. My boyfriend had to keep reminding me that it wasn't real. Make sure you have lots of tissues!
