Kathy, Ruth and Tommy all grew up together in a secluded English boarding school, Hailsham. They were raised by "guardians" who limited their contact with the world outside of Hailsham. The residents of Hailsham were no ordinary students, they were "donors", cloned and used for their spare parts until they have nothing left to give. The story is told by Kathy, now 31 and a "carer". She is reunited with Ruth and Tommy after many years and old feelings and self doubt start to surface.
This is a story about a very controversial subject. It begs the question, "just because we can, should we?" It is also a story of forgiveness.
