Description

Gentlemen & Players by Joanne Harris is a gripping psychological thriller that explores obsession and rage. Set in a long-established boys' grammar school, the story delves into the darker undercurrents beneath the surface of everyday crises and petty disputes. As the staff and boys navigate the challenges of a new year, a sense of unease settles over the school. The arrival of suits, paperwork, and Information Technology signals a significant change, and veteran Latin master Roy Straitley is finally contemplating retirement. But as tensions rise, it becomes clear that there are more sinister forces at play. With its pace, wit, and acute observation, this novel showcases Joanne Harris's skill as a writer. A complex and engrossing tale, Gentlemen & Players will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
