I read this book in senior year of high school, and I remember being utterly waylaid by it, my mind blown by Ishiguro’s ability to write a world that is so familiar but just off somehow. The twist shocked me at the time, but on this reread, I was surprised to note how quickly the information came out. Perhaps it’s because I remembered the details, but the clone confirmation came far more clearly and earlier than anticipated. I had a vivid image of the scene with Miss Emily and the cabinets, but in my recollection, it was more violent. I also was surprised by the emphasis on sex throughout the novel. Especially for a book assigned to me in high school, it felt like too significant a plot point.
