However, my dad absolutely despised boarding school. He found it an environment full of barely concealed violence and horrific bullying.
It's by no means the universal experience of children who went to boarding school in the mid-late 20th century, but it's certainly common enough that my father is in widespread company.
I'm not sure if Olive ever truly understood or became aware of what a miserable time my dad had at that boarding school. It was an experience so outside of her own. 32/?
