Madam
By Phoebe Wynne
Madam is a contemporary Gothic novel, set within the walls of prestigious and remote boarding school Caldonbrae Hall, an institution which instills the young women in its care with four key qualities: confidence, courteousness, charm and courage.
Our protagonist Rose is a Classics teacher, like Phoebe was herself, and the novel opens with her becoming the first new teacher at Caldonbrae Hall in over a decade. The institution is shrouded in mystery, and stands on an isolated patch of the Scottish coastline, with local villagers steering clear of the imposing building and its inhabitants.
Rose will soon discover that not all is as it seems at the historic institution, and as she begins to uncover what happened to her predecessor, the dark history of the school will come to light...
