Book description
Megan, Bella and Alice inhabit the isolated world of a girl's
boarding school, Egerton Hall, buried deep in the English countryside.
The Tower Room which they share is remote and high, and from it the
three survey the everyday drama of school life. With only months to go
until their final exams they are already sensing the dangerous
delights awaiting them in the grown-up world. Megan feels a special
poignancy about leaving school; orphaned soon after she came to
Egerton Hall, she has virtually been brought up there as the ward of
the science mistress. But it is Megan who looks down from the Tower
Room that unforgettable morning, to meet Simon's inquisitive gaze. As
Megan rushes to embrace her fate, her safe, cocooned world is
transformed forever . . .
Loosely based on the Rapunzel fairytale, this highly original novel
is the story of a sudden, unexpected, passionate relationship and the
unforseen yet inevitable results of defying convention.
