Joanna Goodman wrote The Finishing School, a story about the Lycee International Suisse school. This elite boarding school educates the children of the rich and famous. Kerstie, from Toronto, is a scholarship student from a family of limited means. Kerstie's mother went to this school. Her roommate, Cressida, is her roommate and friend from the moment they met in 9th grade. Just before graduation Cressida falls from a fourth floor balcony and has a severe head injury. Twenty years later Kerstie tries to investigate whether Cressida was pushed from the balcony or if the fall was accidental. The story jumps back and forth 20 years in time. The story is about friendship but also a mystery with a dark ending.
