Greycliff Wings

The final year at Greycliff School hangs suspended between childhood and the wider world beyond its gates. For a circle of senior girls, these months carry impossible weight: Cathalina Van Buskirk drifts through days with her head full of ideals and distant dreams, Hilary Lancaster commands with fierce determination, and Lilian North keeps her own counsel, harboring secrets that will reshape friendships. Together, they navigate the small adventures and larger heartbreaks of those last precious months - midnight excursions, whispered confidences, the bittersweet knowledge that summer will scatter them to separate futures. Grove captures something achingly true about these formative years: the peculiar grief of loving people you will soon lose, the way a single school year can hold both absurd joy and genuine loss. For readers who cherish stories of intense female friendship and the tender passage from girlhood into whatever comes next.
