Description
A fierce new novel about power and privilege, Oligarchy explores the darker side of peer pressure and the strict social hierarchies that govern certain groups. When Tash is sent to an English boarding school, she finds herself caught up in a world of eating disorders, Instagram angst, and mysterious disappearances. As Tash navigates this strange new world, her own sense of identity begins to unravel. But when her friend Bianca vanishes, the routines of her dorm-mates seem even more sinister than before. Scarlett Thomas's latest novel is a gripping exploration of the complexities of power and privilege, and the ways in which they can both unite and divide us. Hardcover, 212 pages.
