Synopsis
Daphne Rae's perspective is a unique one; as the wife of a young master she was an insider, but as a woman in a boys' boarding school, she was perceived as an outsider. This is an original look at life within public schools, and Rae's reflections on aspects which have aroused the sharpest criticisms - homosexuality, corporal punishment and bullying - receive a candid and balanced treatment. Rae successfully weaves personal memories with those of various public schools, such as Harrow, creating a refreshing and insightful work.
