THEY JUST THREW HER AWAY!
At the end they just threw her in the trash like junk.
They talked about Klara having her slow fade as if the AFs have some sort of expiration built in; like she would start to slowly stop functioning. But she didn’t stop functioning. It sounds like her body couldn’t move anymore but she was clearly conscious and functioning at the end while sitting in a junk yard rotting away.
I don’t tend to get emotional when I read books but I’m so angry and sad over this—to the point where I’m literally tearing up and that has never happened with any book I’ve read.
Instead of keeping her, or giving her to Rick, while she fades away they just chucked her in the bin like a broken toy. No other options. No, let’s try and fix her. No passing her to some other child. Just trash.
I haven’t been this emotional about anything since I saw Grave of the Fireflies. Like this, I loved it but I never want to watch it again.
I finished it about 30 minutes ago and I still can’t calm my mind; the end just hit me that hard.

I really liked it as well. I’ve read several others by the same author, and haven’t felt the same.
Im a big Ishiguro fan and it’s a beautiful book. I felt the same way when I finished it.
