My neighbor's book club just had a huge fight about the ending of 'Klara and the Sun'
I was in my backyard yesterday and could hear them yelling about whether the ending was hopeful or just sad. One person said 'It's about love surviving any form,' but another called it a 'cop-out' that left her mad for a week. Has your club ever split that hard on a book's meaning?

Read an article saying Ishiguro meant it as a quiet triumph not a sad ending.

Wow, yelling over Klara? That's wild. My group got quiet and sad for a solid ten minutes, then someone just said "well that hurt" and we moved on to wine. A full blown fight sounds intense.

Right? The quiet sad reaction is so real... we just sat there staring at the screen for a bit. Honestly, a fight sounds way more stressful. Our whole vibe just got super heavy, like the air got thick. It took a big group sigh and opening a new bottle to shake it off. That scene just hits different.
