Klara is an Artificial Friend, built to be a companion for a child, yet endlessly curious about the humans who pass her store window. From her place on display, she studies every gesture, every smile, every shadow, hoping for the day someone will choose her.
When that moment finally arrives, Klara’s quiet observations expand into a profound exploration of love, loyalty, and what it means to be human. But as she navigates the delicate hopes of her new family, she begins to glimpse the limits of devotion—and the cost of being replaced.
From Nobel Prize–winning author Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun is a luminous, unsettling meditation on loneliness, technology, and the fragile bonds that hold us together.
