"Oh Kathy, the great expert on real families. So sorry." p. 124
Can we just take a second to dwell on the fact that I really dislike Ruth? I don't understand how someone like Kathy could be friends with her. Ruth is such a jerk, for lack of a better word. When Ruth said these words, I was shocked. This biting remark is ironic because they cannot have real families. They hardly even know that real families are. They were created (?) for one purpose, and that purpose is to be donors. So they could not possibly have a family or even be a part of one. However, since they cannot have families in the literal since of the word, I think Kathy just once everyone from Hailsham to be a family. She wants them to always have each others backs and be there for one another no matter what. And Ruth is definitely NOT the person for any of this.
