Hidden deep in the woods of\u003cbr\u003erural Pennsylvania, this crucible of reformist liberal arts study with its\u003cbr\u003eexperimental curriculum, wildly selective admissions policy, and formidable\u003cbr\u003eendowment, has produced some of the world's best minds: prize-winning authors, \u003cbr\u003eartists, inventors, Supreme Court justices, presidents. For those lucky few\u003cbr\u003eselected, tuition, room, and board are free. But acceptance comes with a price.\u003cbr\u003eStudents are required to give the House three years--summers included--completely\u003cbr\u003eremoved from the outside world. Family, friends, television, music, even their\u003cbr\u003eclothing must be left behind. In return, the school promises a future of\u003cbr\u003esublime power and prestige, and that its graduates can become anything or\u003cbr\u003eanyone they desire.\u003cbr\u003eAmong\u003cbr\u003ethis year's incoming class is Ines Murillo, who expects to trade blurry nights\u003cbr\u003eof parties, cruel friends, and dangerous men for rigorous intellectual\u003cbr\u003ediscipline--only to discover an environment of sanctioned revelry. Even the\u003cbr\u003eschool's enigmatic director, Viktória, encourages the students to explore, to expand\u003cbr\u003etheir minds, to find themselves within the formidable iron gates of Catherine.\u003cbr\u003eFor Ines, it is the closest thing to a home she's ever had. But the House's\u003cbr\u003estrange protocols soon make this refuge, with its worn velvet and weathered\u003cbr\u003eleather, feel increasingly like a gilded prison. And when tragedy strikes, Ines\u003cbr\u003ebegins to suspect that the school--in all its shabby splendor, hallowed history, \u003cbr\u003eadvanced theories, and controlled decadence--might be hiding a dangerous agenda\u003cbr\u003ewithin the secretive, tightly knit group of students selected to study its most\u003cbr\u003epromising and mysterious curriculum.\u003cbr\u003eCombining\u003cbr\u003ethe haunting sophistication and dusky, atmospheric style of Sarah Waters with\u003cbr\u003ethe unsettling isolation of Kazuo Ishiguro's \u003cem\u003eNever Let Me Go, Catherine\u003cbr\u003eHouse\u003c\/em\u003e is a devious, deliciously steamy, and suspenseful page-turner\u003cbr\u003ewith shocking twists and sharp edges that is sure to leave readers breathless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elisabeth Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47278625620204,"sku":"9780062905659","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47278625652972,"sku":"9780062905673","price":20.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback - Large Print","offer_id":47278625685740,"sku":"9780062999146","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780062905659.jpg?v=1770253528","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/catherine-house","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
