Vividly describing the pastoral landscape and graceful buildings, the rich variety of classes and activities, and the official and unofficial rules that define the school, The Best of the Best reveals a small world of deeply ambitious, intensely pressured students. For Gaztambide-Fernández, Weston is daunting yet strikingly bucolic, inspiring but frustratingly incurious, and sometimes - especially for young women - a gilded cage for a gilded age. 001478820 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001478820 546__ $$aIn English. 001478820 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 01.
