Publisher's Synopsis
What's it all about - finding the one or finding oneself? If it's true that there is more wisdom to be found at a wake as opposed to a wedding then Shaun's (the protagonist) story and his answer may be the most thought provoking you will ever find. "Death of a Teacher" is for anyone who has had to face depression and felt defeated by life. It is at once a love story and a search within. It is set against the backdrop of Ireland, East Germany and Poland in the mid-eighties. Shaun, an idealistic Irish communist, although disillusioned during a trip to East Germany by the sinister activities of those he trusted, returns the following year and is captivated by a beautiful Polish Catholic. This impossible love sets him on a course of action no one could ever have predicted. If my novel helps you to think outside the box please share it and start the discussion with a review.
