That brought the state's padlocked-schools total to nine (one in Front Royal, two in Almond's native town of Charlottesville).

Her young Americans are rich, educated and self-consciously tortured by love and the need to prove that art and personality are more important than money and family. All are friends living in a convention-clamped New England university town.
