Written in the style of Dickens, Waugh, Alcott - this harrowing tale of young girls at a forward-thinking boarding school who are caught up in feelings that are labelled hysteria by a medical doctor, told through the perspective of the young female teacher whose father runs the school. Reminiscent of the movie Picnic at Hanging Rock and the play The Crucible.
