Did not finish book. Stopped at 66%.

It is rather a difficult which I cannot recommend in audio format, unless accompanied by a print or digital edition.

A Very Private School by Charles Spencer

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

I think it would be in poor taste to give this recollection a star rating. I will only say that if you want to learn about the dynamics which lead to the abuse of minors and their sadly common silence, this is a good resource. Parents/guardians/educators/etc may also have a particular interest in what Charles Spencer tells us.
