Charles King is a dedicated and caring teacher who falls in love with a former student and sends her a message expressing his feelings. This leads Charles to face up to a previous tragedy and sets him on a path of self discovery and personal healing. At the same time he finds himself at the centre of an extraordinary witch hunt that leaves him increasingly bewildered and exasperated.
I loved this book. It was so well written and a real page turner. It's actually an astonishing true story but written like a novel. The best book I have read for a long time. I thoroughly recommend it. I was gripped from the start. It is a modern twenty-first century story that shows how intolerant and blinkered society has become. It is a story of an ordinary person who finds himself caught up in events beyond his control.
