'The girls' boarding school! What a ripe theme for the most
observant verbal artist in our midst today - the absurdly undersung
Ysenda Maxtone Graham, who has the beadiness and nosiness of the
best investigative reporter, the wit of Jane Austen and a take on
life which is like no one else's. This book has been my constant
companion ever since it appeared' A. N. Wilson, Evening Standard
When I asked a group of girls who had been at Hatherop Castle in
the 1960s whether the school had had a lab in those days they gave
me a blank look. 'A laboratory?' I expanded, hoping to jog their
memories. 'Oh that kind of lab!' one of them said. 'I thought you
meant a Labrador.' 'The cruel teachers. The pashes on other girls.
The gossip. The giggles. The awful food. The homesickness. The
friendships made for life. The shivering cold. Games of lacrosse,
and cricket. 'The most brilliant, hilarious book. My book of the
year' India Knight 'A wonderful book' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
