A wildly sexy award-winning debut of the forbidden love between a young woman and a headmaster's wife, unfolding across a single heatwave summer. In an elite boarding school for girls, a young butch woman arrives to take up the antiquated role of 'matron'. There she meets Mrs S, the headmaster's wife, an older woman who is her polar opposite - assured, sophisticated, a paragon of femininity. Over the course of a long, restless heatwave, the matron finds herself irresistibly drawn into Mrs S's world until their unspoken desire blooms into an illicit affair of electric intensity. As the summer fades, both know that a choice must finally be made. 'Desire crackles through these pages like fire' - Telegraph - in this moody and sensual novel set around the 1980s or 1990s. A lesbian romp in 296 page paperback.
