Bowing Out
TEACHER TURNS LEARNER
Of course, it had been the beer talking -
and how many men have been guilty of allowing that to happen? Chris
hadn't meant to cause lasting offence in his end of year speech on
that hot summer's evening, but you can never turn the clock back.
What's been said has been said.
It's surprising that someone like
Chris would have been so affected by the reactions of his colleagues
to what had simply been a bit of fun. Surely his dramatic escape
from the long awaited holiday with his wife Sarah was the result of
much unhappiness which had built up over time, and the memory of
that fateful evening in the restaurant was simply that which finally
tipped him over the edge?
Centring on the adventures of Chris
O'Neill, fugitive teacher, the novel tells of his attempts to change
his life around and the subsequent upheaval affecting him, Sarah and
also Andy and Helen Wilkinson.
