From the award-winning writer of Eveningland and The Typist,
Michael Knight, At Briarwood School for Girls is an incisive,
witty, beautifully-written novel set at a boarding school in the
Virginia countryside It's 1994 and Lenore Littlefield is a junior
at Briarwood School for Girls. She plays basketball. She hates her
roommate. History is her favorite subject. She has told no one that
she's pregnant. Everything, in other words, is under control.
Meanwhile, Disney has announced plans to build a new theme park
just up the road, a "Technicolor simulacrum of American History"
right in the middle of one of the most history-rich regions of the
country. If successful, the development will forever alter the
character of Prince William County, VA, and have unforeseeable
consequences for the school. When the threat of the theme park
begins to intrude on the lives of the faculty and students at
Briarwood, secrets will be revealed and unexpected alliances will
form. Lenore must decide whom she can trust-will it be a
middle-aged history teacher struggling to find purpose in his
humdrum life? A lonely basketball coach tasked with directing the
school play? A reclusive playwright still grappling with her own
Briarwood legacy? Or a teenage ghost equally adept at communicating
with the living via telephone or Ouija board? Following a cast of
memorable characters as they reckon with questions about fate,
history, and the possibility of happiness, At Briarwood School for
Girls is a stunning and inventive new work from a master
storyteller.
