Opis

Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant 14-year-old when her father drops her off at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. As Lee soon learns, Ault is unlike anything she has previously experienced, a self-enclosed world populated by jaded teenagers whose expectations, values and social rituals are unfamiliar to her.

Recenzje

The OC meets Donna Tartt's The Secret History with flashes of Clueless... Sittenfeld's strength is in making the experience feel universal...Everyone will wince with recognition at the horror of being a teenager. It's great to relive it all, now that it is happening to someone else. Observer
