A review by carolyn0613
Oligarchy by Scarlett Thomas

4.0

Natasha is a young Russian girl sent to an English bording school. Eating disorders are rife and one of her friends disappears and the girls are told that she has died. There's a bit of mystery around this but the main point of the story is about the eating disorders and a kind of coming of age plotline. It all sounds a little grim but isn't. Worth a read. I enjoyed other books by Scarlett Thomas and this one was a little different but still good.
