Omnibus edition. At boarding school Kathy, Tommy and Ruth begin to realise the fate that lies in store for them. Read by Rachel Shelley.

Kazuo Ishiguro's haunting novel of love, friendship and loss.

Kathy, Tommy and Ruth have only ever known the sheltered world of Hailsham, a secluded country boarding school. As they grow up, they begin to understand the true purpose of their isolated upbringing and the fate that lies in store for them.

Ishiguro's brilliant alternative vision of 1990s England is a disquieting exploration of what makes us human and how we each find meaning in our lives.

This Book at Bedtime is an abridged version of the full text of the novel.
