Things arent always as they seem...
A small town can be a refuge, but while its secrets are held, its hard to know who to trust and what to believe.
The Teachers Secret is a tender and compelling story of scandal, rumour and dislocation, and the search for grace and dignity in the midst of dishonour and humiliation.
Perfect for fans of The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas, Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty and A Song for Issy Bradley by Carys Bray.
