Journal Entry 1 by SwanOfKennet from Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom on Tuesday, January 10, 2012

When he is forced to resign his post after having an affair with one of his students and refusing to defend himself before a hearing, he moves in with his daughter on a remote smallholding, finding solace in the routines of rural life. But a violent attack on the smallholding opens up cracks in all of his relationships.
