Lucille is sent away to the Ursuline convent in Brussels, expecting piety and refinement—and instead finds a regime where discipline is absolute and the slightest defiance earns the kiss of the birch rod. Under the watchful eyes of the Lady Superior and the ever-present Sister Serena, the girls’ bodies become sites of surveillance, punishment, and secret games.
When a treacherous classmate betrays her, Lucille’s simmering rage erupts in a nocturnal act of revenge that is as shocking as anything the nuns themselves devise, proving she has learned more from their cruelty than they ever intended.
Listen, and feel the hush before the birch.
