But is very treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early, and nearly everyone survives if diagnosed at the earliest stage. So it’s important to know the signs – spotting the signs and sypmtoms could save your life!

On World Book Night – Friday April 23rd you can join The Reading Agency, from 6-9pm, for two exciting free events and a special #ReadingHour, in partnership with Specsavers and hosted by the British Library
Kazuo Ishiguro is one of the world’s most treasured and celebrated contemporary fiction authors, whose award-winning novels include Never Let Me Go and The Remains of the Day. He appears in conversation with no. 1 bestselling author Kate Mosse to discuss Klara and the Sun, his first book since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, in this special event presented by The Reading Agency and the British Library. The event also marks the 10th anniversary of World Book Night, The Reading Agency’s national celebration of books and reading.
Klara and the Sun is an intensely moving and beautiful exploration of human connection and creativity in the face of loneliness and advanced technologies. Ishiguro looks at our changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
He talks to Kate Mosse about the inspiration for the novel, and the power of books and reading to bring people together and change lives.
