One of The New York Times’s 10 Best Books of the 21st Century
As children, Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.
Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special—and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together.

“the first half of this book was quite difficult to read, nothing really hooked me in, but as the story grew and i had more of understanding it became more mysterious and interesting. In the end it is a very sad book, would have rated it higher the beginning would have been written better”
