Clara et le soleil

Set in a dystopian future, 'Clara et le soleil' (original title: 'Klara and the Sun') follows the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend (AF) designed to be a companion for children.

Klara is awaiting purchase in a store, where she observes the world through her limited but insightful perspective.

The novel explores themes of artificial intelligence, human relationships, and the societal implications of genetic engineering.

Klara's narrative is marked by her child-like yet intelligent observations, and her deep connection with a young girl named Josie, who is suffering from a serious illness.

The sun plays a significant role in the story, both as a source of power for Klara and as a symbol of hope and life.
