![]() ![]() ![]() Sittenfeld brilliantly utilizes the setting of a boarding school as the perfect microcosm to explore issues of race, religion, class, geography, and sex. But PREP isn’t your typical salacious prep school book-it’s keenly astute and poignant. PREP is the story of Indiana-native Lee Fiora and her years at Ault, a prestigious New England prep school. ![]() I had to hide it under the jacket of another book because my mother did not consider it “age-appropriate” reading material. It’s strange to think there was a time when I didn’t have it practically memorized, but the first time I read it was when I was 14 and I indefinitely borrowed it from my best friend. The spine is broken and held together precariously with Scotch tape, the pages are falling out, and the cover is hanging by a corner. My copy of Curtis Sittenfeld’s PREP is “well loved,” to put it lightly. ![]()
