Westminster's boys and girls were no angels,' as John Rae puts it, 'but they were always good company.' As we follow his campaign to turn a single-sex establishment with a reputation for arrogance, slackness and drug-taking into the best school in the country, the same holds true of the author. - The Telegraph

“Excellent book!”
It has become 1 of my favourite novels now. The stories are beautiful - painting Paris with its authentic brush but also highlighting the magic. I'll definitely reread this!!
