Parents And Teachers By Sarra Madderson

‘Parents And Teachers’ is the latest book by Sarra Madderson.

At two of London’s most exclusive prep schools, there are strict rules against parents fraternising with teachers. Well, that’s the theory, in any case. Jenna, a Year 3 teacher at St Cuthbert’s, catches the eye of the school’s highest-profile parent, a world-famous action movie star, with far-reaching consequences. Meanwhile, over at Chiltern House, Astrid is still licking her wounds after her husband left her. Her daughter’s PE teacher, Callum, may be her best chance of rediscovering her joie de vivre.
Astrid’s friend Natalia, whose life revolves around motherhood these days, finds herself questioning everything she’s taken for granted when her husband becomes embroiled in a #MeToo scandal. Really, the only ones behaving themselves are the kids …

If you’re a looking for a saucy read on these cold nights, then look no further as ‘Parents and Teachers’ is a hot treat!

This is the second that I’ve read by Sarra Madderson in recent months after devouring ‘Food for Thought’ in one sitting and this latest book was just as glorious.

The story is primarily seen through the narrative of 3 women, 2 are mothers with daughters at St Cuthbert’s and the other is a teacher and they are all breaking one cardinal sin – they are all committing sins.

Jenna is one of the most loved teachers at the school and her head has been turned by the arrival of Hollywood star Jackson Chapman who’s little boy called Rollo is in her class, she falls for Jackson’s charm. After her husband Mark broke her heart, Astrid has never been with another man but then PE teacher Callum Pearce wins her over with his dashing looks and Irish charm, Astrid begins to live again. Finally Natalia runs a busy home whilst her husband Lorenzo brings home the bacon but when he’s suspended for making unwanted sexual advances towards female staff, she begins to question their relationship and just what a type of man she has married.

I loved this book, the characters are great particularly Callum with his rogue behaviour and Irish wit. I enjoyed his interaction with Astrid and how he helped rebuild her confidence even though she’s already a beautiful successful fashion designer, but she’s lost sight of herself due to her husband’s infidelity. Natalia’s story is a harsh reminder of the #MeToo movement and how men think it’s perfectly fine to behave in a predatory fashion around women. I liked Jenna as she got the opportunity to fulfil most people’s fantasy of being with a celebrity and an attractive one at that!

‘Parents and Teachers’ is a deliciously fun and scandalous story that delivers the perfect distraction from the impending lockdown. Filled with risqué moments, wit and glorious characters, this book is a must for fans of Jilly Cooper and Fiona Walker.
