Description
From the Booker Prize - winning author of The Remains of the Day comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children, Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students from 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 is it that makes them special --- and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go administers its revelations as precisely as drops of acid.
