Updating the classic Chalet School series, this book reimagines the lives of its characters in a contemporary setting filled with sex, drugs, and the challenges of modern life, including references to significant historical events like Vietnam and the Falklands War. While the original series featured heroines destined to marry royalty or professionals, this retelling introduces a fresh, provocative perspective on their journeys, reflecting current societal issues and the complexities of adulthood.

'The Mystery of Mrs Blencarrow' and 'Queen Eleanor and Fair Rosamund' are both stories about women left on their own to run their own households. Each ends, not with a marriage as is usual, but with the break-up of a marriage.
