Description
England, 1984. After a family scandal, sixteen-year-old Ida flees Scotland and wins a scholarship to a rundown girls’ boarding school, lost in the outskirts of the southern coast of England. And although the headmistress keeps warning the students about the threat of the Cold War and the inevitable nuclear catastrophe, and Ida’s new roommate—a potential pyromaniac and an outsider—doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, the school still seems like a safe haven. It would seem to be the place to wait out the storm and start over. However, the illusion of calm turns out to be only a quiet pool, with danger lurking deep within.
The school’s fragile equilibrium is shattered by the arrival of a new teacher. Soon strange things begin to happen at the school: the girls fall into convulsions one after another. What is happening to the students of St. Anne’s Boarding School? A disease? Hysteria? Or poison? And who, in that case, is the poisoner?
Listen to a story in which the author expertly combines a dark intrigue with the cozy, caramel atmosphere of a girls’ school—adding wit worthy of the best British comedies—in performances by Anastasia Skorik, Anastasia Shumylkina, and Grigory Perel.
