From the bestselling and Booker Prize-winning author of Never Let me Go and The Remains of the Day, this is the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend, who waits from her place in the store to be chosen by one of those who pass by on the street. But when it emerges that her life may change for ever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.

A novel of exquisite tenderness and restraint that asks what it means to be human, and what it means to love.

Today: Klara waits patiently in the store, hoping that a lonely child will choose her.
