The new edition of the National Trust magazine contains this photograph of their property at Ham House near Richmond-On-Thames. It is a shot from the forthcoming movie based on Kazuo Ishiguro's terrific novel "Never Let Me Go", that will be released at the end of this year. The casting of Carey Mulligan as Kathy (the narrator of the book) and Keira Knightly as Ruth is just perfect.The National Trust say Ham House was chosen as the producers wanted something "seedy" and despite being close to Heathrow, it's closeness to London proved vital. And the photo does seem to conjure up the atmosphere from the author's imaginary boarding school of Hailsham. I can't wait.
