Swan's international bestselling novel The Wives of Bath, is both a shocking Gothic tale about a murder in a girls' boarding school and an adolescent confession. Mouse and Paulie, reluctant fourteen-year-old boarders at Bath Ladies College, are confronted by the slippery quest for one small, vital thing: the thing that definitively makes boys different from girls.

The novel was made into the feature film Lost and Delirious, shown in 34 countries. Since the film's debut, young women all over the world have role-played the parts of Mouse, Tory and Paulie on the Lost and Delirious website.
