Frost In May
Nanda Gray is nine when she starts convent school and fourteen when, catastrophically, she is sent away. Quick-witted, resilient and eager to please, Nanda accepts the cloistered world with the enthusiasm of the convert, her single deviation being the passionate friendships she makes - but the convent demands total obedience, conformity the ultimate aspiration.Convent school life is perfectly captured: the smell of beeswax and incense; the petty cruelties of the nuns; and the eccentricities of Nanda's schoolfriends.
