Book Reviews
The focus is firmly on the staff and they leap from the page not merely as human beings but as a deftly drawn collection of personality defects and neuroses.... Although it can be classified as a school story, this is no Goodbye Mr Chips. There is no saccharine sentimentality and barely a moment of teachers being the inspiring leaders the recruitment ads promise they'll become.... This book is well worth the price of admission.
