Summary From the Booker Prize-winning author comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it's only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: I love the voice in this story - you really feel for all the characters and wish that something could go well for them, even though you get the sinking feeling as the book continues that it's going to end tragically. I was listening to soft lullabies while I was reading this book, which I think fit the mood very well. It also means that every time I listen to those songs, I keep thinking about this book.
