IN THE GRAND TRADITION OF CLASSIC VICTORIAN EROTICA? A well-known British novelist, writing under the pen name Clemency Jopling, continues this all-new tour through the psyche and fetishes of Victorian amour. In the second volume of his bestselling saga, which is modeled on a real academy of the time, Amanda has been sent to the strict Mrs. Smith's, an oh-so-strict training school for rebellious young women, to keep her from revealing the steamy affair stepmother has been carrying on in her father's absence. Although old-fashioned in her choice of punishments, Mrs. Smith offers a remarkably liberal curriculum, instilled by caning and other delightful Victorian notions of discipline. The eighteen year-old Amanda has discovered the life at Mrs. Smith more congenial than she dreamed, especially as she has been promoted to the role of Mrs. Smith's assistant, and now has an opportunity to inflict some punishment and humiliation herself. Finding a friend in Mrs. Smith, Amanda reveals the real reason she has been sent to the academy. When Mrs. Smith discovers Amanda's story is true, and her stepmother is living a flagrantly unfaithful life with an unsavory lothario, Mrs. Smith and Amanda plot a delicious, and very sexy, revenge. "Wonderful! As good a read as Fanny Hill and Autobiography of a Flea." (Sibley Whyte, former editor The Fetish Times.)
