PositiveEuropean LiteratureSara Mesa’s Four by Four is a novel of secrets revealed gradually. Its three sections progressively, though obliquely, uncover the happenings at Wybranwy College, an isolated boarding school that may be a refuge from the outside world, or an enclosure for those in its grounds ... This is a creepily atmospheric piece of work, in which Mesa uses her tale of a fictional institution to examine the use and abuse of power.
