Within this landscape of immense privilege, where difference is met with hostility, the matron finds herself unsure of her role, her accent and her body. That is until she meets Mrs. S, the headmaster's wife, a woman who is her polar opposite--an assured, authoritative paragon of femininity. Over the course of a long, restless summer, their unspoken yearning blooms into an illicit affair of electric intensity. But, as the summer fades, a choice must be made"-- Provided by publisher. 20230725. Boarding schools Fiction. Housemothers Fiction. Lesbians Fiction. Romance fiction. England Fiction. Queer fiction.
