Eton Rogue: A Delicious Tale in Which Class, Politics, and a Toxic Press All Jostle for Our Horrified Attention. --The Wall Street Journal - Paperback
by William Coles (Author)
"A delicious tale in which class, politics, and a toxic press all jostle for our horrified attention." -- Tunku Varadarajan, The Wall Street Journal
Eton Rogue is a hilarious and shocking story of scandal, rebellion, and privilege set inside the world's most famous school: Eton College.
Seventeen-year-old Cary is beginning his final year at Eton just as Prince William arrives and the British tabloids descend in search of headlines. Cary has found his own way to profit from the frenzy. Acting as a secret mole, he sells scandalous stories to The Sun, earning thousands along the way--while also conducting a risky secret romance with the daughter of a housemaster.
Based on true events, Eton Rogue follows a single, simple rule: the more outrageous the story, the more likely it actually happened. A razor-sharp satire of class, power, and media obsession, this novel pulls back the curtain on elite education and exposes the chaos simmering beneath its polished surface.
