Description
Cultural shifts of the late twentieth century reveal dark secrets at an elite prep school, in this posthumously discovered novel by the author of â?oOur Crowd.â?? Located in bucolic Connecticut, the Crittenden School has long held a venerable reputation as one of New Englandâ?Ts premier preparatory schools. However, times are changing, and that change is coming to Crittenden. In the midst of social upheaval, the headmasterâ?Ts wife, Clarissa Spotswood, is thrust into faculty and student intriguesâ?"a role for which she is woefully unprepared. Clarissa has spent the past thirty years quietly standing by her husband, Headmaster Hobart Spotswood, projecting the image of the model society wife. But this meticulous faA╪ade is shattered when Clarissa uncovers horrific events within the schoolâ?Ts insular community. And interspersed with the drama is Clarissaâ?Ts own journal entries revealing a secret history of her own. Previously unpublished, The Headmasterâ?Ts Wife was written by the late Stephen Birmingham, author of notable works such as Real Lace and Life at the Dakota. Discovered after Birminghamâ?Ts death, the manuscript was transcribed and edited by his son, Carey Birmingham.
