Tapped out after 125 pages in which absolutely nothing of any interest happened. There are whiffs on the air like sewage of tensions between moneyed and not, plausibly between school and townies.

This is the second very bad novel I've seen Harrow blurb, it's time to start ignoring her on that score.
