As Klara enters Josie’s world, she gets to know more about humans and life, including its sorrows and unpredictability. Then comes Josie, a kind, but sick child.
She is both puzzled by and interested in humans. Relying on and worshipping the Sun, Klara never misses an opportunity to catch its rays : “…the big thing, silently understood by us all, was the Sun and his nourishment”. Together with another AF Rosa, Klara spends her time shifting positions inside the store in a hope that some child will eventually choose her and she will fulfil her destiny. In Kazuo Ishiguro’s new book, Klara is an AF (Artificial Friend) or a highly advanced girl-robot created to be a companion for a child.
