In The Late 1980s, For Reasons Even She Has Difficulty Pinpointing, Fourteen-year-old Lee Fiora Leaves Her Middle-class, Close-knit, Ribald Family In Indiana And Enrolls At Ault, An Elite Co-ed Boarding School In Massachusetts. Both Intimidated And Fascinated By Her Classmates, Lee Becomes A Shrewd Observer Of, And Ultimately A Participant In, Their Rituals And Mores, Although, As A Scholarship Student, She Constantly Feels Like An Outsider. By The Time She's A Senior, Lee Has Found Her Place At Ault. But When Her Behavior Takes A Self-destructive And Highly Public Turn, Her Hard-won Identity Within The Community Is Shattered. Lee's Experiences, Complicated Relationships With Teachers, Intense And Sometimes Rancorous Friendships With Other Girls, An All-consuming Preoccupation With A Classmate Who Is Less Than A Boyfriend And More Than A Crush, Are Both A Psychologically Astute Portrait Of One Girl's Coming-of-age And An Embodiment Of The Painful And Thrilling Adolescence Universal To Us All. Thieves -- All School Rules Are In Effect -- Assassin -- Cipher -- Parents' Weekend -- Townie -- Spring-cleaning -- Kissing And Kissing. Curtis Sittenfeld.
