A Novel
Curtis Sittenfeld's debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age  story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse  of adolescent angst and ambition. Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old  when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School  in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana,  at least in part because of the boarding school's glossy brochure, in which boys  in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks  on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.  As Lee  soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend  summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and  fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer ofand, ultimately, a  participant intheir rituals and mores. As a scholarship student, she constantly  feels like an outsider and is both drawn to and repelled by other loners. By the  time she's a senior, Lee has created a hard-won place for herself at Ault. But when  her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her carefully crafted  identity within the community is shattered. Ultimately, Lee's experiencescomplicated  relationships with teachers; intense friendships with other girls; an all-consuming  preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush;  conflicts with her parents, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant, coalesce into  a singular portrait of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Curtis Sittenfeld's Sisterland.
