“This book is The Secret History meets Interview with the Vampire. It’s campy, creepy, sensational fun that’s hardly life-sucking” (Daily Candy).

But despite its lusty content, the real shock is the scary secret unearthed toward the end” (Reveal). It is the 1950s and existentialism is flourishing in Paris. But Viola, a seventeen-year-old English girl, is languishing in an elite boarding school in the dull French countryside. Under the distracted tutelage of Aimée, the students lounge about the crumbling gray château playing records and smoking Gitanes, awaiting the arrival of some suitable distraction. Then a new teacher arrives—Sabine—with her long, tanned legs and mane of golden hair. Sabine questions everything and challenges the girls to look at their world anew. Passion strikes Viola. But there are sinister forces at play in the château and when Sabine becomes ill with a blood disorder, Viola uncovers a dangerous secret . . .

Sabine is an enchanting novel that deserves to be a cult classic.” —The Daily Telegraph “Anonymous A.P marvelously re-creates the hormonal anguish of the fey teenagers.” —Publishers Weekly “A sexy, Gothic tale.” —Harpers & Queen “Remarkable . . . creepy.” —Kirkus ReviewsShow book
