 Never Let Me Go  by Kazuo Ishiguro.
I'm not going to tell you what this book is about, because one of the pleasures of reading it is figuring out, bit by bit, what's going on – much as the characters themselves do, as they grow up. What I can say is that it takes place in England, in the late 90s, but that it's soon obvious this isn't the 90s England we are familiar with.
The intricate world created by Ishiguro is impressive and the story is immediately absorbing and emotionally powerful. I enjoyed the contrast between the calm voice of the narrator and my increasing uneasiness as the pieces of the puzzle started to come together.
