From the back of the book:0)

At St Oswald's, an old and 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 IT rule the world; and Roy Straitley, Latin master, eccentric and veteran of St Oswald's, 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 13 years, is about to erupt.....

This is a great book. I finished it a while ago but its taken me ages to get around to journalling it. The style can be quite confusing (swapping the first person from chapter to chapter) - Joanne Harris also does this in "Coastliners" - but I guess it makes sure that you are concentrating!! I also didn't predict the end - so much so that I think I will re-read at some point to see how the story drops into place. (I'm going to leave the status as TBR for the moment)
