Hi Bookclubbers:
Thanks to those who sent suggestions in for our next read, I placed all in a 'hat' and pulled out….. **** drum roll ****…….
Never let me go by Kauzo Ishiguro
Mildura library has two copies of this book, one on the shelf at Mildura, another large print version at Redcliffs library, - so if you're quick you might grab one of these, otherwise I'll be obtaining copies via interlibrary loan from across NSW, they will dribble in over the next couple of weeks.
Please let me know if you will reqire a copy and I will reserve one for you.
Our next meeting is set for Thursday February 18th at 6.pm.
Cheers for now
Deidre

Hi Dee and BBC - sorry but I'm not now able to be there this evening - nearly made it this time... I've got a few questions I'd like to ask about the book eg
what did they donate? I assume body parts, but 4!!! donations - what could be left?? Unless it included thumbs, big toes, etc. Who / why were the models? ie how were they chosen??
Where did the carers income come from? Where they 'citizens' as we understand the term? Why the need for a 'deferral' - couldn't they just opt out - or is this what 'never let me go' refers to?????
Having asked all that, I would also like to say that the book brought back memories of my schooling in England - and Harry Potter.
