Set in an Upper Class School in Vermont, the story has as it's axis Arthur Winthrop, the schools headmaster and tells in a moving, engaging way his life story which twists and turns in quite unexpected ways.
Greene draws his characters beautifully, faults and all. I felt as I read that a delicate picture was being drawn for me and the picture got more lush as we progressed,equally his settings are drawn in such a manner, that I,12,000 miles away could see them quite clearly in my mind and I think I would recognise certain areas should I visit.
Character driven with a very strong storyline and some surprising twists, I have kept this review short so as not to spoil it for you.
Available in good Bookshops everywhere and via the Library System.
