Description
Jack Sheffield returns to Ragley village school for another year as headteacher in 1986. This is a year of surprises at the school, with Ruby finding happiness at last, Vera making an important decision, and a new teacher being appointed. Meanwhile, Jack receives unexpected news that will challenge him in his career. A decade has passed since Sheffield's last return to Ragley-on-the-Forest School, and much has changed. The world outside is also changing - the year is marked by Margaret Thatcher's third election victory and the emergence of popular culture like Dynasty and shoulder pads. As Jack navigates these changes, he must make a difficult decision that will impact his career and the school. With its wry observation and heartwarming humour, this book offers an amusing and engaging portrayal of life in a small rural community.
