Shades of Miss Jean Brodie! Again World War II. Not Scotland this time, but Padmore, a tiny English village where poverty is rife. Kay Roper came, saw and conquered - she a teacher with no regard for convention, makeup (the war paint) liberally applied, she totally a law unto herself. She is killed in a road accident. (Do not worry. This is no spoiler. It happens in the very first paragraph.) The book comprises memories from three of those whose lives she so enhanced: devoted pupil Janet Haycock, headmistress Ivy Chaplin, neighbour Patrick Harper.
