There she meets Mrs S, the headmaster’s wife, a woman who is her polar opposite: assured, sophisticated, a paragon of femininity.Over the course of a long, restless heatwave, the matron finds herself irresistibly drawn ever closer into the older woman’s world with their unspoken desire blooming into an illicit affair of electric intensity. But, as the summer begins to fade, both know that a choice must finally be made.‘Desire crackles through these pages like fire’ TELEGRAPH‘Wildly sexy … I kept forgetting to exhale’ CHARLOTTE MENDELSON‘There’s nothing else like it out there’ THE TIMES''Compulsively readable … beautiful, brilliant'' OBSERVER‘Moody, generous and brilliant’ JESSIE BURTON''Rare and thrilling'' SARAH WINMAN
