** spoiler alert ** What a great book. I'm still thinking about it. So much to discuss, it's a great book club book. Can't wait to talk about it with my group! Some notes I want to get down: I'm not sure how believable it was that Martha was able to move around so much and not arise suspicion. And, that she was so close with so many of her students. And, that they never asked her many questions about why she was traveling alone with a baby. And, the fact that Pete accepted her word for everything and married her. If I were in that situation, I don't think I'd ever be sure that they were telling the truth. I'm still not sure what happened in one of the beginning Homan scenes. What were the man and woman trying to get him to do in that building? A drug deal?? Perhaps the author was being purposely confusing to show things from Homan's point of view. Words cannot express how sad I was for Lynnie and Homan. The things that were done to them and how they were treated--it was just heart-breaking. What happened to Lynnie's parents? After reuniting, did they just give up on her? And her brothers too? Ugh. I just can't imagine. As a mother, knowing what your child went through in that school, and then abandoning her again. I would have thought that her mother would have done anything for her at that point. I read in another review that The School is loosely based on Pennhurst State School and Hospital (originally called Eastern Pennsylvania State Institution for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic). As a life-long resident of PA (AND living within 20 miles of this place for practically the entire time), I can't believe I never knew the story of this school. Crazy. I don't know what modern-day name we would give to Lynnie's issues. Did she just have extreme developmental delays? She seemed to progress so well with the right speech therapy. But, then she lived in a group home until she was reunited with Homan.
