Description
Kathy's life was one of carefully constructed memories, a sheltered past that she had long since left behind. Yet, when two old friends returned to her life, the past began to resurface. As she rekindled her friendship with Ruth, and her feelings for Tommy deepened, Kathy was compelled to confront the truth about her childhood and the lives she had built since. The idyllic years at Hailsham, a private school in the English countryside, seemed to have been a world away from the reality that lay ahead. But as the years went by, Kathy began to notice the cracks in the facade, the discord and misunderstanding that hinted at a darker truth. With the benefit of hindsight, she and her friends were forced to face the reality of their childhood, and the lives they had built since. This is a powerful and poignant exploration of the human experience, one that asks difficult questions about the nature of identity, memory, and the choices we make.
