Description

This novel is about the seduction and continued abuse of a 15 year old boarding school student by her 42 year old English teacher. The plot escalates as grooming turns into sexual abuse, much of which is disturbing and explicitly forced. The protagonist is followed as an adult in alternating chapters as the impacts of this relationship on her life are explored.
