-------------------------------------------------------------------
In rural Somerset in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens: a school is under siege.
Pupils and teachers barricade themselves into classrooms, the library, the theatre. The headmaster lies wounded in the library, unable to help his trapped students and staff. Outside, a police psychiatrist must identify the gunmen, while parents gather desperate for news.
In three intense hours, all must find the courage to stand up to evil and save the people they love.

Wow! This is a stunner of a book.Staggeringly good
ASTONISHING. Powerful, terrifying, heartbreaking
It's beautifully, elegantly written,SO gripping, intelligent, timely, affecting and moving
There's no one else writing quite like Rosamund Lupton in fiction today - the way she combines high tension with a compassionate and humane take on the world is unique.Three Hoursisexceptional- at turns heart-breaking, warm, terrifying, perceptive and grippingly page turning
Three Hoursis Rosamund Lupton's best book yet, and that is high praise. A monster story for our fractious historical moment -- the age of the internet and of Columbine, of terror and mass migration -- when the monsters often look an awful lot like our own children.Chilling, suspenseful, humane, and brave
An incredible, unbelievably powerful book... I forgot how to breathe as it explored what it means to be human - for better or for worse. It's taut, it's tight, it's appalling, it's uplifting, it'sextraordinary. Simply stunning
This isan incredible novel: a heady combination of elegant writing, nuanced characterisation, deep emotion and heart-stopping tension. I was torn, all the way through, between wanting to slow down in order to relish the detail, and wanting to speed up in order to find out what was going to happen'
I readThree Hoursin two days, in awe.It's breathtaking. A modern rumination on the issues that divide 21st century life, a celebration of refugees, of mental health, of love and hope and bravery. I loved it more than I can say'
Three Hoursis about hate crime, but what rings out from its pages - what is likely to stay with you long after you've read that magnificent last line - is love. I wanted to readThree Hoursslowly to savour every beautiful word, yet it is so compelling that I couldn't put it down. This one is destined for the best-sellers list, I reckon, and rightly so.It isphenomenal
Beautifully written, emotionally note-perfect and nail-bitingly tense. It'sBRILLIANT
I finishedThree Hoursin the wee small hours of this morning. It'smind blowing. I'm still feeling jittery. It's so fast-paced and credible that at times I felt like I was watching rolling news coverage of a real incident where I knew the victims. I had that same pulse-racing, queasy feeling - the same inability to look away. It's a horrifying story but told with such compassion and humanity. A large cast of characters and yet you feel genuinely emotionally engaged with each one... Amazing
Three Hoursis a brilliant novel - moving, relevant and honest. Rosamund Lupton takes us through the story of a siege in an English school, building on the tension and our emotions as the story speeds to its conclusion. She handles difficult subjects with sensitivity and intelligence, focusing on the heroism of the individual. Anexceptionaland heartbreaking read
Lupton tells her story withsearing beautyand unbearable tension. Exquisite. Compassionate. Painful. Fantastic. A work of powerful imagination that wears its intelligence lightly. Absolutely terrifying and nail-biting. Don't read this if you want to be able to put it down.
Three Hourshasa voice all of its own.Character and plot leap out at you from the first line. Rosamund Lupton makes you race through the pages with her irresistible storytelling. Impossible to stop until you reach the poignant end!
I've just finished reading this.Exceptional- so well planned and written. I'm also in awe of Rosamund Lupton
Like a breath of icy air. . . Not since Smilla'sFeeling for Snowhave I shivered like this.
Like Kate Atkinson, Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Rendell
Devastatingly good, and announces the arrival of a truly original talent
Three Hoursis one of the most exhilarating reading experiences I've ever had.Rosamund Lupton takes a dark, painful subject and turns it into a novel full of hope and compassion.An amazing achievement.
