Through the emotionally complex lives of a group of teenagers and the adults who hope to control them--from their private school's headmistress to mothers both loving and distant--this poignant novel is gently satirical yet deeply felt as it reveals a rarefied world.
Even tho it's sometimes frustrating/maddening and yes,I confess, sometimes fun, reading about the privledged people (the other half!) this started out with a bang for me and I am looking forward to reading the rest of it.
