NPR's Book of the Day - Charles Spencer’s memoir ‘A Very Private School’ opens up about boarding school abuse

A new memoir by historian Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer and brother of Princess Diana, details a difficult childhood marked by alleged physical and sexual abuse at Britain's Maidwell Hall in the 1970s.
