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.
