They are institutions designed to give the illusion of care and nurture, which in reality exist to control and restrict. All three central settings, Hailsham, the cottages and the hospital, are as uncanny and as 'unreal' as the clones themselves, made to present as one thing but exist as another. The novel's settings reflect this position of inclusion and exclusion, existing in peripheral, suburban locations outside the city. In his reimagining of an alternate past, Ishiguro explores a world where genetic modification has been extended to allow clones to harvest viral organs for sick members of society. In 'Never Let Me Go', Kazuo Ishiguro uses space as a physical representation of the central character's disconnection and ostracisation.
