5.0
This book is written in the style of spoken reminiscences, with allusions to things that haven't been described yet, and "but maybe I should explain..."
This device makes you really feel that you are one of Kathy's friends, or maybe just a chance acquaintance, or perhaps one of her donors who has been asking for stories of Hailsham.
All in all, this is a devastating book, will make you ponder all the things that bind us together as humans.
