Description
A fascinatingly extraordinary novel combines the force of Decline and Fall with the Gothic enormities of the Powys brothers, conveying them with innate compassion for adolescence. Michael Campbell's work is marked by its tragic beauty and its exploration of love, a theme that all novels profess to be about but hardly any achieve. The book is a remarkable evocation of growing up and the closed world of school, where characters are defined chiefly by what they say. The author's writing is economical and effective, with a balance between humor and seriousness that makes for an engaging read. Mr Campbell has brought to life an extraordinary world that is both moving and fine. With its deeply authentic comedy and strong sense of atmosphere, this novel is a compelling portrayal of private education in decline.
