Book description
Recommended by Rachael‘O Caledonia!’s Janet is a classic comic heroine, in that she is also a classic tragic heroine: lonely, unloved, overlooked, and yet somehow staunchly herself throughout. And who that self is is truly splendid: imaginative, spiky, bookish, fiercely intelligent, and completely socially unaware. Her family despise her – her mother Vera finds even the sight of Janet reading ‘peculiarly irritating’. Her schoolmates make use of her intelligence to cheat on their homework and laugh at her ‘exaggerated stories of her incompetence in every aspect of the day's routine, and the dire consequences it provoked’, while also preferring to avoid spending any actual time with her. We know from the start how Janet will end the novel – dead in her mother’s black lace evening dress, twisted on the stone staircase in the dilapidated castle in which her family live and run a boarding school – and by the end we’ll know how and why she got there, but all the real fun is in the journey the novel takes us on through 'l’étouffoir familial', the family suffocation chamber (Proust by way of Janet).’
