Charles Spencer recounts the trauma of being sent away from home at age eight to attend boarding school.
What The Reviewers Say
Spencer’s analysis of the culture that allowed schools like Maidwell to flourish is fairly basic.
Excruciatingly sad.
Searing, heartbreaking.
What’s striking about the book isn’t just its vehemence and the therapeutic purpose it serves in allowing Spencer to 'reclaim' his childhood, but the authenticating detail of his memory.
