Publisher's Synopsis
"A thoroughly enjoyable horror experience...totally convincing." AUBERON WAUGH "Extraordinary...full of surprises, full of truth." EVENING STANDARD "At thirteen there is very little you can expect to salvage from loving someone...No one will let you love yet. You're not expected to." But in the holidays, Harriet's plump, dreamy girlfriend develops a morbid interest in an unhappily married, middle-aged man. The two schoolgirls, lost in their own little fantasy world, begin a plot to humiliate "the Tsar". But in their secret schemes and artful ways, fantasy merges into reality with disturbing and unexpected results.
