Catherine house av Elizabeth Thomas


'A delicious literary gothic debut' New York Times During your three years at Catherine House, you will have no contact with those in the outside world. You will not leave the grounds during your time at the college. If we believe you have wandered from the path of learning, you may be sent to the tower. Each of our students has been selected as someone who belongs here at Catherine. You will give to Catherine, and Catherine will give to you. We will not let each other down. Catherine House is a university like no other. Into its celebrated world steps Ines, a young woman who welcomes the school's isolation rather than its illustrious past. As the gates close and Ines finds herself start to be inevitably seduced by its magnetic power, she also begins to realise the question isn't why she chose to come to Catherine House; but why Catherine House chose her. 'Moody and evocative as a fever dream, CATHERINE HOUSE is the sort of book that wraps itself around your brain, drawing you closer with each hypnotic step' Washington Post 'Echoes of Donna Tartt's The Secret History and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go' Daily Mail.

Bokomslag och beskrivning hämtad från Akademibokhandeln.

Denna bok valde jag för att den var septembers bok i Literally dead book club, hade inte hade hört talas om boken innan. Jag känner att jag är glad att jag läste (lyssnade) på boken, för att det var inte en deckare/thriller i den vanliga bemärkelsen utan mera som en mystisk, "sekt"-liknande bok. 

Kan inte säga att jag tror denna bok är för alla, men den passade mig rätt bra då jag kommer att ge boken 3,5 av 5 möjliga stjärnor i betyg. Så helt enkelt en lite skräckaktig bok så här i höst tider var det.
