The renowned author of The Remains of the Day brings us this heartbreaking exploration of the human condition. Protagonist Kathy has grown up being taught to take care of her body because one day she will become a “donor” and her organs will be taken away one by one to be given to someone else in need. but why must Kathy and her peers give up so much of themselves? This book left me reeling from its impact, and it remains an all-time favorite of mine. The movie adaptation starring Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightly is very well done too!”
