Curtis Sittenfeld's sparkling debut is set in an American boarding school, a hotbed of privilege, ambition and neurosis, every bit as snobbish and competitive as anything dreamed up on this side of the Atlantic. Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts; she leaves behind her affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, her head filled with images from the school's glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls hold lacrosse sticks on pristine athletics fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel. As Lee soon learns, Ault is quite unlike anything she has previously experienced, a self-enclosed world populated by jaded teenagers whose expectations, values and social rituals are utterly unfamiliar to her. At first an observer of, then a participant in the hyper-vigilant, intricately demarcated life of the school, Lee eventually finds her own place in the pecking order - until a single act of spontaneous folly shatters her carefully honed identity. "Smart, witty and sensitive...Any girl who's ever felt like an outsider will be drawn to troubled Lee, a scholarship teen at a posh boarding school" - "InStyle". "An addictive portrait of adolescence - "The OC" meets Donna Tartt's "The Secret History" with flashes of "Clueless"" - "Observer". "Sittenfeld writes with confidence, her dialogue rings true...and her observations range from witty to surprisingly funny, sometimes absurd." - "Herald".
