Review in Bookviews (blog), March 2015
A gripping debut teeming with drama and scathing insight into the world of an all-girl private high school.
For years, Audrey Brindle has dreamed of attending George Eliot Academy, the school where her mother, Ruth, has taught for a decade. But when she is finally admitted, she discovers a place of sly bullying and ferocious intolerance. Ruth, meanwhile, finds her world upended by the arrival of a new teacher, Henry Winter.
An acutely observed exploration of ambition, betrayal, and cruelty,
The Eliot Girls deftly explores the intimacies and injustices of privileged female adolescence and the relationship of a mother and daughter for whom life will never be the same.
