About this title

Synopsis:

A reunion with two childhood friends--Ruth and Tommy--draws Kath and her companions on a nostalgic odyssey into the supposedly idyllic years of their lives at Hailsham, an isolated private school in the serene English countryside, and a dramatic confrontation with the truth about their childhoods and about their lives in the present. 100,000 first printing.

Review:

" A page turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish." -- "Time"
" A Gothic tour de force. . . . A tight, deftly controlled story . . . . Just as accomplished [as "The Remains of the Day"] and, in a very different way, just as melancholy and alarming." -- "The New York Times"
" Elegaic, deceptively lovely. . . . As always, Ishiguro pulls you under." -- "Newsweek"
" Superbly unsettling, impeccably controlled . . . . The book' s irresistible power comes from Ishiguro' s matchless ability to expose its dark heart in careful increments." -- "Entertainment Weekly"
