Riassunto

da bambini, kathy, ruth e tommy frequentarono un esclusivo collegio nella campagna inglese. Idilliaco per certi versi ma vagamente sinistro, "hailsham" era un luogo di amicizie intense, regole misteriose e "guardiani" che ricordavano costantemente agli studenti quanto fossero speciali. Ora trentunenne, kathy ripensa al loro passato comune e racconta come lei e i suoi amici siano gradualmente arrivati a comprendere la sconvolgente ragione dell'accudimento attento che avevano ricevuto. Una toccante meditazione su amicizia, amore e mortalità.

Dalla quarta di copertina

As children, Kathy, Ruth and Tommy attended an exclusive boarding-school in the English countryside. Idyllic in some ways yet vaguely sinister, 'Hailsham' was a place of intense friendships, mysterious rules, and 'guardians' who constantly reminded the students how special they were. Now thirty-one, Kathy looks back on their shared past and tells how she and her friends gradually came to understand the shocking reason for the careful nurturing they had received. An affecting meditation on friendship, love and mortality.
