"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Although Schooling is a novel that is rightly fêted for its stream-of-consciousness narrative, it contains many incidents that would aptly fit in any boarding-school story and which make absorbing reading: smoking surreptitiously, bullying, sniffing glue, putting on a school play, punishment for "indecent" photographs, minor arson. These incidents are purely that, though--incidental to the main story. They emerge sometimes startlingly through the thick, heady fug of Catrine's relationship with her Chemistry teacher, which is cast beautifully and poetically as innocent and all-enveloping. The denouement of the tale perhaps should be expected, despite the timeless feel of the novel, but it is orchestrated feelingly. McGowan has written a compulsive account of adolescence that moves and grips the reader while stirring sometimes unwanted memories of being 14 and at school. --Olivia Dickinson
