In 2019, the novel ranked 4th on The Guardian's list of the 100 best books of the 21st century. [12] Adaptations [ edit ] Horror author Ramsey Campbell labeled it one of the best horror novels since 2000, a "classic instance of a story that's horrifying, precisely because the narrator doesn't think it is". [9] Hailsham was an ancient British settlement that existed before the Romans invaded Kent and Sussex in 43 AD. [8]

to 1640: Hailsham was one of the chief centres of leatherwork and tanning (using local oak bark) due to being a thriving cattle market town. Louis Menand, in The New Yorker, described the novel as "quasi-science-fiction", saying, "even after the secrets have been revealed, there are still a lot of holes in the story [...] it's because, apparently, genetic science isn't what the book is about". [7] Miss Lucy – A teacher at Hailsham with whom the children feel comfortable. She is one of the younger teachers at Hailsham and tells the students very frankly that they exist only for organ donation. She feels a lot of stress at Hailsham and is fired for what she tells the students. but we all sensed that to probe any further—about what she did with our work, whether there really was a gallery—would get us into territory we weren’t ready for yet.

She told Roy that things like pictures, poetry, all that kind of stuff, she said they revealed what you were like inside. She said they revealed your soul.’ (Tommy recalling Miss Lucy) Chapter 15 The woods behind Hailsham symbolise realities of which the donor children only have a vague awareness. The dark and ominous woods are distant and unknown, and are only conveyed through rumours and partial information; their presence is a threatening view of the outside world. Kathy knows she ‘wasn’t the only one to feel their presence day and night’. Like those that controlled the clones’ fates, ‘they cast a shadow over the whole of Hailsham’. The controlling measures and rules for the clones are not clearly detailed by Ishiguro but, like the woods, they are ominously present and intimidating. The Woods QuotesThomas Wolsey (1473–1530), English political figure and cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He once lived at The Stone, Hailsham. Cardinal Wolsey was assigned the lease of the rectory of Hailsham, which included The Stone, but there is no proof that he ever lived here. Currently, it is distributed direct to homes and businesses across Hailsham and the surrounding villages as well at via collection points. On their return trip, Tommy gets out of the car and has a tantrum. He dies after his fourth donation.

The Hailsham & Hellingly Masterplan, [29] submitted to Wealden District Council as supplementary planning guidance in 2009, planned a holistic approach to the town's infrastructure: roads; sewerage and drainage; transport; retail; employment land; housing; healthcare; education and training; leisure, recreation and the arts. Among the Masterplan's proposals were long-term visualisations for the town's roads, including two major (new) relief roads which would make the High Street and town centre more pedestrian-friendly, a community-based diagnostic and treatment centre with GP surgeries, and a community park/complex. You see, I imagined it was about this woman who’d been told she couldn’t have babies. But then she’d had one, and she was so pleased, and she was holding it ever so tightly to her breast, really afraid something might separate them, and she’s going baby, baby, never let me go…’ (Kathy’s version of the dance incident) Chapter 22 Kathy relates several anecdotes about Ruth’s pathological lying. At one point, Ruth pretends to be talented at chess when she does not actually know how to play. At another, she pretends that a pencil case was a gift from her favorite teacher when in fact she bought it for herself. Nevertheless, Kathy becomes good friends with her, and when she loses her favorite cassette tape––which features a song called “Never Let Me Go,”––Ruth tries to help her find it.
