From the Nobel laureate and author of Klara and the Sun, a
beautiful hardcover edition of one of his most acclaimed novels: a
deeply moving and stunningly original love story with a startling
twist
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.
