‘Last Lesson of the Day’ is a novel set in a Minor Public School in England, covering the last School Term of a Classics Teacher’s employment at the school. At the centre of the story is an event of an ex-pupil, an Asian boy accused of ‘Terrorist Activities’ that the Classics teacher is called upon to support and defend. Unfortunately, the teacher ‘lives in another time, that of the ‘classical world’, and finds himself overwhelmed by the accusations hurled at his ex-pupil. The last lesson of the day is his last school day, but not his last opportunity to offer the last lesson.
