Slowly, as the children grow and mature and eventually leave Hailsham, they begin to understand more clearly the purpose of their lives. The children have a theory, that if their artwork is good enough, it will reveal who they really are on the inside and they will be able to use this to their benefit. Madame comes weekly to select from the children’s art, and they are certain she must have a most wonderful gallery to display their work. The children hope that their drawings will be chosen to hang in Madame’s gallery. The children are educated and cared for and taught to paint wonderful pieces of art. Ishiguro’s latest novel, Never Let Me Go, is a beautifully written story about children growing up in the isolated and protected environment of the private school, Hailsham, in England.
