A wryly dark academic novel set in a troubled English girls' school in the 1980s. Having fled Scotland after a humiliating family scandal, sixteen-year-old Ida wins a scholarship to a girls' boarding school on England's remote south coast. Ida hopes that St. Anne's School can be a refuge. She barely has time to settle in when a new teacher arrives. The girls are desperate to learn everything about him—after all, why on earth would an attractive young man come to such a remote place? One of the teachers is convinced the new colleague is not who he claims to be. Suddenly, a mysterious illness spreads throughout the school—students repeatedly experience strange convulsions. What is happening to the girls at St. Anne's? Are they pretending? Or maybe someone is bullying them? And who is this young teacher—a liar and a villain?

Masterfully combining the caramel-toned girls' school atmosphere and eerie mystery of The Secret History with the delightful comedy of Derry Girls, Rebecca Waite's new novel is a witty masterpiece.
