At Briarwood School for Girls
Author: Michael Knight
Publisher: Atlantic Monthly Press
ISBN: 0802146309
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The award-winning author of Eveningland “combines a coming-of-age tale, a ghost story and a meditation on history in his engrossing latest novel” (Minneapolis Star Tribune). It’s 1994 and Lenore Littlefield is a junior at Briarwood School for Girls. She plays basketball. She hates her roommate. History is her favorite subject. She has told no one that she’s pregnant. Everything, in other words, is under control. Meanwhile, Disney has announced plans to build a new theme park just up the road, a “Technicolor simulacrum of American History” right in the middle of one of the most history-rich regions of the country. If successful, the development will forever alter the character of Prince William County, VA, and have unforeseeable consequences for the school. When the threat of the theme park begins to intrude on the lives of the faculty and students at Briarwood, secrets will be revealed and unexpected alliances will form. Lenore must decide whom she can trust—will it be a middle-aged history teacher struggling to find purpose in his humdrum life? A lonely basketball coach tasked with directing the school play? A reclusive playwright still grappling with her own Briarwood legacy? Or a teenage ghost equally adept at communicating with the living via telephone or Ouija board? Following a cast of memorable characters as they reckon with questions about fate, history, and the possibility of happiness, At Briarwood School for Girls is “an inventive coming of age tale” (Southern Living). “A stunning novel with a hint of the supernatural that’s sure to delight readers.”—Publishers Weekly “Irresistible and satisfying.”—Christine Schutt, author of Florida: A Novel

Lena has a secret: the touch of her skin can kill. Cursed by a witch before she was born, Lena has always lived in fear and isolation. But after a devastating mistake, she and her father are forced to flee to a village near the Silence, a mysterious forest with a reputation for luring people into the trees, never to be seen again… Until the night an enigmatic girl stumbles out of the Silence and into Lena’s sheltered world. Miranda comes from the Gather, a city in the forest brimming with magic. She is on a quest to wake a sleeping princess believed to hold the key to liberating the Gather from its tyrannical ruler—and she offers Lena a bargain. If Lena assists her on her journey, Miranda will help her break the curse. Mesmerized by Miranda and her promise of a new life, Lena jumps at the chance. But the deeper into the Silence she goes, the more she suspects she’s been lied to—about her family’s history, her curse, and her future. As the shadows close in, Lena must choose who to trust and decide whether it’s more important to have freedom…or power.

*** Formerly published in 2016 by St. Martin’s Press under the title SHE’S GOT A WAY. This book has been extensively revised from the original. *** “A new, witty voice in contemporary romance. Maggie McGinnis is gonna make you smile.”―Christie Craig, New York Times bestselling author USA TODAY® Bestselling author Maggie McGinnis welcomes us back to Echo Lake, Vermont for an opposites-attract story between two people who think they couldn’t be more different … until a team of scheming teenagers set out to prove them wrong. Gabriela O’Brien is supposed to be on a plane to a long-awaited Barbados vacation, where she’d planned to sip margaritas on a cushioned chaise by the sea for a blissful, breezy two weeks, using sea air and alcohol to recover from a long year of playing substitute parent and full-time counselor to her Briarwood Academy students. Instead, she’s navigating a van full of miscreant teenagers to a desolate summer camp on the shores of Echo Lake, Vermont, where they’ve been sentenced to live for a month because the teens stole the school van and hightailed it out of town a week ago, and the headmaster decided it was Gabriela’s fault. When Luke Magellan watches the BMW van pull into the deserted parking lot of Camp Echo, he braces himself to face a nightmare. Up until this year, Camp Echo’s been home to hundreds of troubled boys every summer, in programs designed to turn them around and prove the world gives a damn how they turn out. But now rich-as-sin Briarwood Academy has bought the property, and given the list of updates they want made, it’s clear they’re going to turn it into yet another lakeside paradise for the rich and famous. Last summer, he was directing lives. This year, he’s a camp handyman putting in a performance stage and showers. And now he’s dealing with a van full of surprise guests who will no doubt be expecting better accommodations than the tents and outhouse he has to offer. Oh, this is going to be fun.
