The central struggle is as such - if they had known about their truncated lives, would they have made different choices? Of course the fault lies with the state, with a system which squanders lives with impunity. But a huge part of Kathy wonders if her mistake is personal - that she had always known and still did nothing about her love for Tommy. It would be easier if none of them had known, because the blame <u class="showmore_hide">would lie elsewhere. Kathy works hard to maintain her denial - throughout the narrative, she corrects herself with cruel precision - because true knowledge would mean recognizing that she had accepted her fate without challenging the odds. However, the dam breaks when Kathy consumates her relationship with Tommy; Ishiguro presents love as a momentary and transcendental rupture in the state-sanctioned discipline that the characters inflict on themselves. It is a carefully crafted novel, with an exacting meticulousness which mirrors the everyday forms of denial and silencing that we engage in because the alternative seems too impossible and risky to imagine.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_6edf9fb7');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_106ea2ad" title="4 Stars" aria-title="4 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="8" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="6" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="7" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="10" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_269302342" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_269302342"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_269302342" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_269302342" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_269302342" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_269302342"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/heddagobbler" target="_top">heddagobbler</a> | <a href="/work/7244/reviews" data-workid="7244" data-title="Never-Let-Me-Go" class="" >953 other reviews</a> | Nov 17, 2024 | <a href="/review/269302342"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_275319514" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/8179920" data-workid="8179920" data-title="Nocturnes-Five-Stories-of-Music-and-Nightfall" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0307455785.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0307455785.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0307455785.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/8179920" data-workid="8179920" data-title="Nocturnes-Five-Stories-of-Music-and-Nightfall" class="" >Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall</a> by <a href="/author/ishigurokazuo">Kazuo Ishiguro</a></div></div><div class="" >Five stories about music and nightfall by the master Ishiguro.
