520    "A riveting, modern gothic debut with shades of The Secret
       History, The Stepford Wives, and a dash of Circe, set at a
       secretive all girls' boarding school perched on a craggy 
       Scottish peninsula. For 150 years, high above rocky 
       Scottish cliffs, Caldonbrae Hall has sat untouched, a 
       beacon of excellence in an old ancestral castle. A 
       boarding school for girls, it promises that the young 
       women lucky enough to be admitted will emerge 'resilient 
       and ready to serve society.' Into its illustrious midst 
       steps Rose Christie: a 26-year-old Classics teacher, 
       Caldonbrae's new head of the department, and the first 
       hire for the school in over a decade. At first, Rose is 
       overwhelmed to be invited into this institution, whose 
       prestige is unrivaled. But she quickly discovers that 
       behind the school's elitist veneer lies an impenetrable, 
       starkly traditional culture that she struggles to 
       reconcile with her modernist beliefs-not to mention her 
       commitment to educating 'girls for the future.' It also 
       doesn't take long for Rose to suspect that there's more to
       the secret circumstances surrounding the abrupt departure 
       of her predecessor-a woman whose ghost lingers everywhere-
       than anyone is willing to let on. In her search for this 
       mysterious former teacher, Rose instead uncovers the 
       darkness that beats at the heart of Caldonbrae, forcing 
       her to confront the true extent of the school's nefarious 
       purpose, and her own role in perpetuating it. A darkly 
       feminist tale pitched against a haunting backdrop, and 
       populated by an electrifying cast of heroines, Madam will 
       keep readers engrossed until the breathtaking conclusion"-
