Explanation and Analysis:
Klara and the Sun takes place in a largely unspecified future. Though Ishiguro withholds most details from the reader, the work is likely set in the United States. Much of the physical landscape, at least, is immediately recognizable: Klara spends the early part of the novel recalling her time at the AF store windows and, after being purchased by Josie, spends time with Josie's family in their house in the countryside. Through it all, she describes familiar city skyscrapers, waterfall parks, and rolling country pastures.
