Angie asked Lisa Lutz:

Got an advanced copy of The Swallows, and loved it. What was your experience with private boarding schools if any? Or did you do any teaching? Great darkness in this one. I tore through it.

Lisa Lutz Hi Angie. Sorry I took so long... First, thrilled that you liked the book. This one means a lot to me.
To answer your questions: I never went to a boarding school. However, I attended a relatively small magnet school from 5th through 12th grade, which I suspect had a similar sense of existing it its own universe, with its own set of rules. I wouldn't say I did any teaching, but I subbed at a few Bay Area private schools in the late 90's.
Thanks for your question and for reading the book!
