Klara is prized for her observational qualities as an Artificial Friend. How do you feel the tone and style of her first-person narration help to convey the degree of her attention to detail?

I think the only way the author could tell this story is through the first person. I was entranced by the slow unfolding of just who and what Klara is. One of the things that intrigued me was the way Klara perceives the world, when she sees her surroundings as being divided into multiple boxes. This made me think of the way the visual systems of some insects such as bees are described. The author does an excellent job of showing how Klara’s intelligence is both similar but also very different from our human intelligence.

I think that first person is the only way for the reader to see how nuanced her thought processes are.

I was fascinated by how Klara observed the world.

I loved the first person narrative of Klara. Her "store" relationship with Rosa was interesting...the reader could see Klara's genuine concern for Rosa and her happiness for Rosa when she was purchased before she was. From that point I was genuinely concerned that Klara find happiness too.

I think first person narrative, by Klara, was a perfect way to write this story. As Anne C pointed out, it enabled Ishiguro to slooowly unfold the story, with just enough details through a non-human voice to keep things moving, but keep the reader entranced. Klara's "emotions" do not cloud the narrative (mostly because she really doesn't have any emotions). It was interesting to hear descriptions of the world through someone with adult perspective, and just the facts as she sees them, but not all the nuance.

By having Klara innocently narrate the story, I was able to learn more about each character and what was developing in the story in much the same way a "fly on the wall" might. Although not always interpreting things correctly, Klara did observe & reflect on the various conversations, behaviors and emotions that the characters had while interacting with each other or alone. I felt that I was able to gain insights much more quickly through these observations she shared. The detailed observations also developed the settings throughout the story which made me feel that I was experiencing what she was seeing/hearing. I also thought it was somewhat telling that her ability to observe seemed to go into the disjointed box-like divisions when she seemed to be presented with too much to observe or something she hadn't fully-processed yet. It made me wonder if the author meant that to be a unique coping mechanism for AFs (or perhaps Klara in particular) similar to those that humans create when feeling overwhelmed.
