Summary

Maggie went to the window and opened it wide, inhaling the lovely, ozoney air off the sea. Why had she never lived by the sea before? Why had she always looked out on housing estates and not the little white hulls of trawlers bobbing off in the distance?

It's gloriously sunny in Cornwall as the school year starts at the little boarding school by the sea. Maggie, the newest teacher at Downey House, is determined to make her mark - but will it be at the expense of her relationship with safe, dependable Stan?

Simone has won a scholarship and wants to make her parents proud. Forced to share a room with the glossy, pretty, clever girls of Downey House, she needs to find a friend, fast.

Fliss is furious at being sent away from her home. As Simone tries desperately to fit in, Fliss tries desperately to get out.

Over the course of one year, friendships will bloom and lives will be changed forever.

Really enjoyed listening. I didn’t find myself predicting every part of the story but just enjoyed each direction it took. The narration is very easy on the ear - I’m a bit picky but Jilly Bond did it very well.
An enjoyable listen.

Great Story!

At times this narration irritated me but at times I was completely immersed. I still can't work out if I enjoyed the story but I think I will purchase the sequel...

Strangely compelling

I’ve just finished listening to ‘Class’ by Jenny Colgan. I enjoyed it being a teacher myself, but was disappointed by the ending… it was very abrupt and there was no resolution between David and Maggie… I’m Scottish and I kept picturing Susan Calman(Cruising presenter) as Maggie, when Maggie was meant to be half her age! I think the narrator made her seem older. I liked the characters though, especially the girls and the storyline with the head teacher. Will definitely read more Jenny Colgan books.

Enjoyable, Lighthearted Read

Unfortunately the narrator spoke so fast I had to permanently have the speed down to be able to catch what she was saying. Despite this I quite enjoyed the book as a bit of night-time meandering that didn't tax me too much

narrator lets it down
