Publisher's Summary
As Vida begins teaching her signature book, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, a tale of an ostracized woman and social injustice, its themes begin to echo eerily in her own life. Peter sees that the mother he perceived as indomitable is collapsing, and it is up to him to help.
The English Teacher is a passionate tale of a mother and son's vital bond and a provocative look at our notions of intimacy, honesty, loyalty, family, and the real meaning of home.
What the critics say
"King writes with subtle clarity, displaying an intuitive understanding of the vulnerable psyches of teenagers, and with pinpoint perception of her characters' inner lives." (Booklist

Compelling and deep
I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to understand the way trauma shapes us. Lily King has a deep comprehension of the human condition. Her characters are so well developed you think you know them by the end of the book.
