Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Clara Salaman is best known for her long-standing role as DC Stanton in "The Bill", although she has recently turned to writing and this is her first novel. Based on her own experiences growing up at the secretive St James School of The School Of Economic Science, it follows the experiences of a London teenager who lives in a cult called 'The Organization,' which seeks to control her every move and reacts brutally to her rebellion. Twenty years later, under a different name, she believes her past is behind her until an old friend reappears. The author's background and the controversial subject-matter are sure to attract media attention and make this one to watch.

Publisher's description:

Caroline Stern is just like any London teenager. Except that she lives in a religious sect. As a child of 'The Organization' her every move - from what she eats to when she talks and whom she'll marry - is dictated by her elders.
