Description
A Very Private School by Charles Spencer
This memoir recounts the author's experiences at a prestigious boarding school in England, where he was sent at the age of eight. Charles Spencer reflects on the culture of cruelty and abuse he endured, and the intense pain of homesickness and brutality he faced as a young boy.
Spencer's account is a searing and moving portrayal of the misery and hopelessness he felt, and the bafflement he still feels today at the motivations of the teachers who inflicted such cruelty on young children. A deeply personal and thought-provoking book, A Very Private School offers a unique insight into the experiences of a generation of boys at boarding school in the 1970s.
