Description
Sally, a cynical and clever fifteen-year-old schoolgirl, is determined to resist the temptation of rebellion. Alongside her best friend Pamela, she plays truant, explores forbidden areas of the old school, and torments posh Sylvia Rose with her pristine uniform and beautiful voice. One day, Sally ventures into the greenhouse on the roof alone, only to discover that Sylvia is also there. As a resurgence of ghost stories and superstition among the girls intensifies, a tragedy looms, sending Sally down an uncanny rabbit hole. Carol Birch masterfully evokes the atmosphere of 1960s Manchester, capturing the complicated relationships between teenage girls with their neediness, bravado, and gullibility. This atmospheric novel is part coming-of-age story, part supernatural thriller, as Sally navigates a world where the boundaries between reality and the unknown are increasingly blurred.
