Description
Elisabeth Devine's arrival in Barton-in-the-Dale is certainly a cause for interest. A head of a large inner-city school, she seems out of place in the village primary.
The villagers are not alone in their curiosity about Elisabeth and her unconventional style - her red shoes with silver heels have already sparked some gossip. However, it's clear that there will be more challenges to come, both for Elisabeth herself and those around her.
With a cast of characters including a bitter former head teacher, a grumpy caretaker, and a duplicitous chair of governors, the village primary is about to face some unexpected changes. Gervase Phinn's novel offers a warm, funny, and poignant portrayal of life in a small community.
