At the Bampford School for Girls, conditions are Spartan, discipline is fierce, and love between students is the ultimate crime. Here, 16-year-old Rachel becomes trapped in a tangle of passions she does not fully understand, caught between a formidable headmistress and a passionate and defiant classmate.

The prose flows well, the descriptions are lovely, and I feel like there is more to discover in the story. I related to both Rachel and Margaret, and while Bisto's character disgusted me more than anything due to her childish puppydog worship of Rachel, I understood her to some extent.
