Klara and the Sun

This is a book that explores the future world in which there are robot friends (Artificial Friends, or AF) for children. These AF have some capacities which exceed our own, but in other ways they're not considered fully human. The book is an exploration of a relationship between a little girl and an AF. The author does a great job in getting into the mind of a foreign character in a realistic and believable way. For me this was too much of a slow burn, the ending falls flat and just left me wanting something more.
