As ever the gentle prose of John Mortimer washes over you and this is a nice easy to read novel. It concerns the man getting out of prison and his praeceptor (yes I had to look that word up too!) who is the daughter of a Bishop. Gently funny as she gets to grips with his life and the way that he lives it.
She is there to keep him on the straight and narrow to help him fulfill his potential after prison life. However, it is almost inevitable that they fall in love and it is his effect on her that causes the problems. They both change as we do in relationships, the relationship changes but will they end up together again?
A book well worth reading.
8/10 for me.
