*******************************************************************************************
At St Oswald's, a long-established boys' grammar school in the
north of England, a new year has just begun. For the staff and boys
of the school, a wind of unwelcome change is blowing. Suits,
paperwork and Information Technology rule the world; and Roy
Straitley, the eccentric veteran Latin master, is finally -
reluctantly - contemplating retirement. But beneath the little
rivalries, petty disputes and everyday crises of the school, a
darker undercurrent stirs. And a bitter grudge, hidden and
carefully nurtured for thirteen years, is about to erupt. The
trilogy continues with blueeyedboy and Different Class.
