Klara is a robot with depth. She is an AF, an Artificial Friend, whose existence is to keep companionship to Josie, a very ill young girl. As the story unfolds we learn why AFs are necessary to be companions to the children of the world. Klara is the narrator of this story and her observations of life and what it is to be human is what makes this novel. It reminded me of his other dystopian science fiction work Never Let Me Go.
