I have loved all of Harris' books and this one was no exception. It is not a fast read but that was okay with me since I was enjoying it.
Roy Straitley had truly come up through the ranks at St. Oswald's School. He began as a student and eventually became the Latin master. He has been teaching there for thirty years and has no intention of retiring because the school and his students are his life. The book skips around in time. We learn a bit about Straitley's childhood but most of it is between the present and twenty years ago.
Straitley is eager to start the new year and to find out what the new Head is going to do to save the school which has fallen on hard times. To his horror the new Head is a former student - one who was involved in a scandal at the school decades ago. Things are not going to go well.
