Proud, guarded Hester must leave home and her adored little sister Nan to board at Lavender House, a girls’ school run by the kindly Mrs. Willis. Little drawing-rooms, quarrels, rival friendships and a puzzle about something found in a school desk lead to one girl being sent to Coventry, and the school’s troubles draw ever closer to Hester’s own heart.
An early landmark of the English girls’ school story from one of its most prolific Victorian writers. Download the free EPUB.
