Love Lessons

Fourteen-year-old Prue and her younger sister Grace have grown up isolated from other children under their controlling father's home education. After he suffers a stroke, their mother sends them to a local comprehensive school. Prue struggles to fit in but finds encouragement in her art teacher, Rax, and develops romantic feelings for him. The novel explores family control, adolescent loneliness, and the boundaries of a teacher's relationship with a pupil.
