Aprašymas

More than reputations are at risk when a young teacher at a private boarding school grapples with a forbidden attraction.

September, 1984: Twenty-two year old David Anstruther is on top of the world. Smart, athletic, and exceedingly handsome, he can't wait to start his new job as a Classics teacher at his alma mater, St. Bartholomew's, an exclusive boarding school in Connecticut. Before school starts, he encounters a mysterious young woman on horseback and wonders if he's found his dream girl. Hopes are crushed when they come face to face in his classroom and David realizes she's actually his student. Seventeen year old Felix Andreessen, the girl with a boy's name, is equally distraught. Not only is David her teacher, he's also the faculty advisor for Latin Club, a student club infamous for its over-the-top 'Games.'

With help from his beloved godfather, Jeremiah Buckley, David struggles to keep his head straight amidst a cavalcade of disruptive students, overbearing colleagues, and a lecherous priest. Following a family tragedy, long-buried secrets emerge. Secrets that could turn out to be deadly. As danger escalates, David must decide: is his forbidden attraction to Felix worth risking his entire future? And will he be able to outrun disaster when the sins of the past collide with the present?

An authentic rendering of boarding school life in the 1980s from an author who lived it, Latin Club is an emotional, passionate, and amusing portrait of what happens behind the closed doors of America's most elite spaces.
