![]() ![]() The students never leave the Hailsham grounds and are kept in the dark about what's in store for them in the future. Here's the thing: Hailsham was an awesome joint and all (who doesn't love drawing classes and playing football?), but it's also filled with a fair bit of mystery and misery. This job also gives her opportunities to reconnect with Ruth and Tommy, her old pals from Hailsham. Working as a carer gives Kathy a ton of time to reminisce about Hailsham, the place where she grew up. Kathy H., our narrator, is a thirty-one year old woman who spends her days as a "carer." Her job involves traveling between recovery centers and helping "donors" to recuperate after giving a "donation." She doesn't tell us what these mysterious donations are, but they don't sound like much fun. The book starts out in England in the 1990s. ![]() And fair warning: this book jumps back and forth and back again in time, so it can be tough to keep it all straight. ![]() Okay, there's a bit more to Kathy's life than that. We can sum this book up for you in three little sentences: Kathy is a carer. ![]()
