This story is certainly relevant in light of the scandals today with teachers having affairs with their students. I really did not like the character "writing" the book. She was an old bitter spinster.
She tells the story of her friend, Sheba, who starts at her school and ends up having an affair with one of her students. I really didn't feel sympathy for any of the characters, not sure if it was deliberate on the part of the writer, but none of the characters were really redeaming to me. They all seemed selfish. The only character I had sympathy for was Ben, Sheba's son who was autistic or downs or something like that.
Overall it was a pretty boring book, everyone knew what would happen and had no resolution of ANY kind.
My Grade: D
