The 2012-13 MSU Reading Experience book is Never Let Me Go (2010) by Kazuo Ishiguro. Set in the 1990s, Never Let Me Go weaves the tale of three young people enrolled in a mysterious, even bizarre, English boarding school called Hailsham. The rules are strange and the teachers even more so as we explore the lives of Kathy, Ruth and Tommy. To say more would spoil the suspense of this gripping novel.
