Seller Description
Catherine House is a school of higher learning like no other. Hidden deep in the woods of rural Pennsylva-nia, this crucible of reformist liberal arts study has produced some of the world's best minds: artists and inventors, prize-winning scientists, Supreme Court justices, presidents. For those lucky few selected, tuition, room, and board are free. But acceptance comes with a price. Students are required to give Catherine three years-summers included completely removed from the outside world. Family, friends, television, music, even their personal clothing must be left behind. In return, the school promises its graduates a future of sublime power, and that they can become anything or anyone they desire. Among this year's incoming class is Ines, who expects to trade her blurry teenage nights of parties, pills, cruel friends, and dangerous men for rigorous intellectual discipline only to discover an environment of sanctioned revelry. Even the school's enigmatic director, Viktória, encourages the students to explore their minds and bodies, to find themselves and their place behind the formidable iron gates of Catherine. For Ines, the house is the closest thing to a home she's ever had. But its strange protocols soon make this refuge, with its worn velvet and weathered leather, feel increasingly like a lavish prison. And when tragedy strikes, Ines begins to suspect that the school--in all its shabby splendor, hallowed history, advanced theories, and controlled decadence-might be hiding a dangerous agenda within the secretive, tightly knit group of students studying its most promising and mysterious curriculum. #fiction#darkacademia#mystery#suspense#gothic#bipoc#debut#catherinehouse#elisabeththomas#hardcover#fiction
