She read
Presented as the memoir of Charles Hollis’ forty year career at the fictional St. Ives School, this is a sometimes esoteric commentary on the nature of education, youth, the military, politics, relationships, indeed, life itself. Hollis attended the school in the late 1800s, and later returned as an instructor and eventually headmaster from 1939 through the mid-60s.
This book will not be for everyone. Do not expect a smooth narrative. At times, the thoughts are meandering; at other times, succinct and to the point. Embrace this book for its rich use of language, historical perspective, keen observations, and the humor that lurks among the recollections.
