*facepalms* I actually found her Wikipedia page without even realising that Rosina's supplied the wrong name! My reading skillz obviously fail.
They do sound very much like something I would like to read, because, like you, I love the boarding school trope. There isn't much of a boarding school tradition in Germany, which is probably why we don't get boarding school stories here. But as I said in a comment above: if someone ever decided to turn Harry Potter into an endless series - book or television - of adventures in a wizard boarding school, I'd be lapping them up. I know many people complain the books are too long and we don't really need the descriptions of Neville's time tables etc., but the everyday school life is the reason why I read these books in the first place. The whole Voldemort conflict is quite irrelevant.
I don't mind the Victorian morals. In fact, a nice plotty novel in a Victorian boarding school would exactly cater to my taste.
