Book description
Madame Vosges is the feared (yet strangely revered) head of a 'school'
for ladies who are unwanted by family. She also caters for anyone who
wishes to conveniently 'lose' a difficult rebellious or expensive
sibling, a school where discipline is incredibly strict and lessons hard
to learn! Poor Virginia finds herself a pupil in this most bizarre
place, learning Geometry, French, maths and poetry alongside others of
her age and background, finding all mistakes sadistically met with the
strap, cane or the birch. Virginia and her hapless classmates are all
plunged into the deepest pit of despair, for there appears to be no
escape from this terrible establishment! Madame Vosges is the feared
