56 Free School Street

"56 Free School Street" will bring immense pleasure to readers who treasure reading about the boarding school life that is witty, and a distinction reached all too seldom in present-day culture. This is the kind of illusory quiet story that deserves a second reading... In this book the reader is invited inside the fearsome boundary walls of an old school system. It's more than a coming of age story, it's a study of the old age thinking where students were sent to a far-off country with the hope that their detractors would not find them and not reach them, thus giving them the opportunity to live a life not enjoyed by the very families that sent them there, who themselves languished in the scorching deserts while being deported from the land of their forefathers.
