I'm planning on reading this one before long. I'm pretty sure I have a copy on one of my shelves. I'm not sure what it is about books set at schools, but they are like catnip to me. And you definitely ought to read THE WIDOW'S HOUSE. Goodman seems to take her time telling her stories and I think that I notice that more because so many I read these days are 'go, go, go' all the time. I will say that as I enter the books in my notebooks on Goodreads, I'm beginning to see trends in my reading over the years. It's been interesting to notice how my tastes have changed.

Its a shame it's predictable but that would be ok if it didn't make the MC look slow. Still sounds like a fun read.
