Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

  This dystopian novel, Never Let Me Go, is deceptively simple. The narrator is Kathy H., a 31-year-old "carer". She is remembering her life at Hailsham, a private school in the English countryside, where nothing is as it seems. As she reminisces about her friends Tommy & Ruth, a horrible truth is slowly revealed.

A good read-alike for this excellent novel is "The Unit" by Ninni Holmqvist.
