Birch in the Boudoir

Birch in the Boudoir is a series of letters between two separated lovers written in the early part of the twentieth century. Charles is fortunate enough to inherit a large sum of money, but as a condition of the will he must work six months in gainful employment or lose his inheritance. The employment arranged for him is to act as an assistant at a girls’ reformatory where the inmates are regularly used and abused and are made to endure an extremely strict disciplinary régime. His lover, Elizabeth, is the daughter of a British Ambassador in the Middle East.
