Publisher's Synopsis
The walled - and very private - village of Greendale is not all that it appears to be from the outside. Superficially it embodies all that is quaint and desirable in the English country way of life. Within it is concealed an exclusive language academy catering for wealthy foreigners. This curious institution purports to teach 'perfect' English - with a 100 %% success rate - and successful graduation holds out the promise of integration into the English upper crust. Everything seems light and amusing at the onset, and the latest electronic technology is regarded just as fun by the new intake of students. But gradually the gadgetry grows more and more intrusive into their private lives and it emerges that both the teaching staff and the 'villagers' are more eccentric than either the students or the naïve new teacher Adrian have bargained for. Trying to enter the village under false pretences can lead to unpleasant consequences, but when students try to escape things can grow nasty indeed...
