Description
York, 1988. Dr Tom Frith is starting his first term as a tutor at the University of Eboracum, looking forward to a change of pace from teaching primary school children. However, he soon faces challenges outside the lecture hall, including helping students who have been surviving on porridge and dealing with inappropriate propositions from those seeking higher grades. As he navigates these pressures, he must also contend with the Acting Head of Faculty, Edna Wallop, whose methods he suspects may not be entirely above board. Inger, a Music tutor, is a new arrival on campus, and Tom finds himself drawn to her. As the year unfolds, Tom's life becomes increasingly eventful, with both students and faculty members facing their own set of trials and tribulations. A heart-warming and humorous novel about life at a fictional university, this book is a nostalgic and entertaining read.
