Book Review: Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas

Looking for your next read? Check out Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas, reviewed by Fulco Library staff, Erin P.

Hoping to find some direction, Ines is excited about being accepted to the prestigious Catherine House college. Catherine House is not like other colleges. Students are expected to study and work hard, but also are given the freedom to indulge in school sanctioned revelry. Ines makes great friends, learns amazing things, and finds a place to belong along the way. Except, not everything is as it seems. What exactly is this new material called plasm? And why so many secrets and evasive answers to her questions.

This is an atmospheric slow burn of a book without a lot of action. Catherine House earned starred reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly. Haunting and compelling, this book is perfect for fans of Sarah Waters, Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, and Kate Elizabeth Russell’s My Dark Vanessa.
