fun

I took this on holiday and laughed so much the palm trees wondered what was going on. this was so Entertaining and such fun. Well written and a great insight into the places the author travelled. Not sure I would go to these places but a great read recommended

the end of an era perhaps

Ever since I was asked to read the first teacher book from Tesco book club I have read all in the series.
Although not that long ago the settings of these books is nostalgic who wouldn't have wanted to be a teacher, rural, great people send of belonging, fantastic annual leave - maybe not great pay ( but the leave must have balanced this)

This feels like Jack has tied up loose ends, with Ruby and his faithful PA Vera with her vicar brother will see retire and if so will anyone have the calibre to replace her, what of Jack - is this an end of an eras even though he is now headmaster of two schools?

Thankfully Laura Beth sister is not included - she made the book uncomfortable at times and not sure what the point of including this strange character.

There is laughter and sadness with the village characters who always make you smile

Maybe the next chapter in jack and Beth's lives will be told if he has moved on to pastures new.
A light read which can be read in an afternoon.
