As a child, she mostly played with other girls, especially Ruth, her best friend and occasional rival.
Kathy often reminisces about her time at Hailsham.
It is implied that Hailsham was a very special school, and most clones did not have happy childhoods, as Kathy did. She often chooses to work with students from Hailsham, the boarding school she attended in her youth. She is proud of her skill as a carer, and her superiors seem to have recognized her success, as she is allowed to choose the donors she cares for, a special privilege. Kathy is a “carer”: she acts as a nurse and a companion to clones that have started the donation process. Kathy H., a thirty-one-year-old clone who will soon make her first donation, narrates the novel. This apparent blessing has been accomplished by breeding human clones, who are forced to donate their vital organs when they reach early adulthood. Never Let Me Go takes place in a dystopian United Kingdom, where disease has been eradicated.
