Bestselling novelist Joanne Harris introduces her new and dark psychological thriller, Different Class.

The novel follows Latin master Roy Straitley, a teacher who has seen it all in his 30 years at a North Yorkshire grammar school. A new broom has arrived at the struggling school and, while Straitley does his best to resist the accompanying modernisation, a shadow of the past stirs in the shape of a troublemaking boy who still haunts the teacher’s dreams 20 years on.

Harris has written bestselling novels across a range of genres including Chocolat, which was made into an Oscar-winning movie starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. Other work includes the fantasy novels based on Norse myth, Runemarks, Runelight and The Gospel of Loki, and the Malbry cycle of dark psychological thrillers, Gentlemen & Players and Blueeyedboy.
