A Very Private School by Charles Spencer – No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller
A powerful, deeply personal and unforgettable memoir from Charles Spencer, bestselling historian and brother of Diana, Princess of Wales.
In A Very Private School, Charles Spencer reveals the shocking reality of his childhood at one of England''s most exclusive boarding schools. Sent away from home at just eight years old, he experienced five years of loneliness, cruelty and abuse within the British private school system of the 1970s.
Drawing upon personal memories, childhood letters, diaries and the recollections of former schoolmates, Spencer provides an extraordinarily candid account of the emotional and psychological impact of his early education.
This compelling autobiography explores themes of childhood trauma, institutional abuse, privilege, resilience and the lasting consequences of a deeply troubled upbringing.
