Klara and the Sun Book Review

My Reasons for Reading this Book My main reason for reading this book is that I am a ReadHead, a member of  The ReadHeads  podcast bookclub and the book of the month for July was  Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro . Going into this book I had no idea what the book was about. I also set no expectations for this book.  Content of the Book  This book follows the 'life' of Klara an AF, Artificial Friend, and how she navigates the life of her outside of the store walls. Klara learns what emotions are, what is and is not appropriate, and how to react to certain situations by observing the humans around her. Klara's experience in the outside world is with a middle-aged woman and her chronilcally-ill daughter, Josie. Together Klara and the family experience the ups and downs of life. Can Klara become programmed to love Josie and fight for her to have the best life possible? Themes What does love mean? What is family? What does it mean to be fully human?
