SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

The Golden Day

There were only eleven of them, like eleven sisters all the same age in a large family. Because it was such a very small class, they had a very small classroom, which was perched at the very top of the school – up four flights of stairs, up in the high sky, like a colony of little birds nesting on a cliff. ‘Today, girls,’ said Miss Renshaw, ‘we shall go out into the beautiful Gardens and think about death.’
In the Gardens they meet a poet. What follows is inexplicable, shocking, a scandal. What really happened that day? Is ‘the truth’ as elusive as it seems? And do the little girls know more than they are letting on?
A haunting and unforgettable novel from a multi-award-winning author.
