![]() ![]() 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. ![]() But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. 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. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. SUMMARY : From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human. Still a solid copy that mains very good status. Tight clean book, pages clean, but with bump bottom upper cover in a complete dust jacket, clean and bright, one small nick, small crease to base of upper panel joint, damp trace to the top edge of the inside of the jacket. An very good copy, completely free of any inscription. FIRST EDITION - 1ST IMPRESSION : with the the figure "1" within the full printing string, in addition to the 'First published 2005" to verso of title page. ![]()
