This book comprises the personal recollections of 25 men writing about their experiences of being sent to Boarding School.
The stories vividly portray the deep wounding that the boarding school experience has on children. There are common themes of bewilderment at leaving home and the difficulties of living, without love, in an institution. They describe ways in which boarding school has impacted their adult lives, the sense they have made of their experiences, and about their inability to trust and feel safe with others – even those closest to them. It gives deep and clear insight into an enclosed subject which has come into focus in recent years and it adds to the discussion and evaluation of this method of schooling.
