A\n\u003cbr\u003e\ngothic-infused debut of literary suspense, set within a secluded, elite\n\u003cbr\u003e\nuniversity and following a dangerously curious, rebellious undergraduate who\n\u003cbr\u003e\nuncovers a shocking secret about an exclusive circle of students . . . and the\n\u003cbr\u003e\ndark truth beneath her school’s promise of prestige. Trust us, you belong here. Catherine\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHouse is a school of higher learning like no other. Hidden deep in the woods of\n\u003cbr\u003e\nrural Pennsylvania, this crucible of reformist liberal arts study with its\n\u003cbr\u003e\nexperimental curriculum, wildly selective admissions policy, and formidable\n\u003cbr\u003e\nendowment, has produced some of the world’s best minds: prize-winning authors,\n\u003cbr\u003e\nartists, inventors, Supreme Court justices, presidents. For those lucky few\n\u003cbr\u003e\nselected, tuition, room, and board are free. But acceptance comes with a price.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStudents are required to give the House three years—summers included—completely\n\u003cbr\u003e\nremoved from the outside world. Family, friends, television, music, even their\n\u003cbr\u003e\nclothing must be left behind. In return, the school promises a future of\n\u003cbr\u003e\nsublime power and prestige, and that its graduates can become anything or\n\u003cbr\u003e\nanyone they desire. Among\n\u003cbr\u003e\nthis year’s incoming class is Ines Murillo, who expects to trade blurry nights\n\u003cbr\u003e\nof parties, cruel friends, and dangerous men for rigorous intellectual\n\u003cbr\u003e\ndiscipline—only to discover an environment of sanctioned revelry. Even the\n\u003cbr\u003e\nschool’s enigmatic director, Viktória, encourages the students to explore, to expand\n\u003cbr\u003e\ntheir minds, to find themselves within the formidable iron gates of Catherine.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFor Ines, it is the closest thing to a home she’s ever had. But the House’s\n\u003cbr\u003e\nstrange protocols soon make this refuge, with its worn velvet and weathered\n\u003cbr\u003e\nleather, feel increasingly like a gilded prison. And when tragedy strikes, Ines\n\u003cbr\u003e\nbegins to suspect that the school—in all its shabby splendor, hallowed history,\n\u003cbr\u003e\nadvanced theories, and controlled decadence—might be hiding a dangerous agenda\n\u003cbr\u003e\nwithin the secretive, tightly knit group of students selected to study its most\n\u003cbr\u003e\npromising and mysterious curriculum. Combining\n\u003cbr\u003e\nthe haunting sophistication and dusky, atmospheric style of Sarah Waters with\n\u003cbr\u003e\nthe unsettling isolation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, Catherine\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHouse is a devious, deliciously steamy, and suspenseful page-turner\n\u003cbr\u003e\nwith shocking twists and sharp edges that is sure to leave readers breathless.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53200227205462,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53409198899542,"sku":"9780062905659-V","price":13.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780062905659_1.jpg?v=1781249663","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/elisabeth-thomas-catherine-house-9780062905659","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
