Olivia

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

A rediscovered gem from The Hogarth Press, back in print for the first time in years. 'A classic of lesbian literature and the most emotionally accessible work that can be associated with the Bloomsbury group' Regina Marler

'Perfectly captures the breathless excitement of adolescent passion' Sarah Waters

When Olivia turns sixteen she is sent to a Parisian finishing school to broaden her education. Soon after her arrival, she finds herself falling under the spell of her beautiful and charismatic teacher. But Madamoiselle Julie's life is not as straightforward as Olivia imagines and the school year is destined to end abruptly in tragedy.

'A remarkable novel which is unique in its presentation of the female mind and emotions in teachers and pupils at a girls' school. It has a strange combination of strength and delicacy.' The Times
