I found this book a little tricky at times. Being a teacher myself in a very similar style of school, I couldn't help but feel it was a little disconnected from reality and the lead character Miles, irritated me on that basis. Not being a member of a union seemed a bit dumb and it was like he represented the archaic private school "master" that is exactly the kind of thing that annoys me. Partially because there are still people like that kicking around in dusty corners of such institutions and partially because it is such a stereotype. I don't know which annoys me more.

Some of the writing was good and you sort of felt for his wife a bit, but I struggled to get past Miles...

Flight Path is an intriguing and fascinating book. The synopsis sets out the story very well; Sophie and Miles married and had their twin girls later in life and so find themselves in their early sixties with their girls only just starting university. Their world is turned upside down when Miles is accused of sexually assaulting a pupil at the school where he has taught for many years. They are in danger of losing everything they know. Could the young boy be telling the truth? Is it possible that Miles could be the man the boy describes? Could everything Sophie has ever thought about Miles be a lie?
Flight Path is made such a good book by the characters involved, which is a testament to the skill of author’s writing. Neither Sophie and Miles are flawless and as the book develops we learn more about each of them.
Throughout the book I kept changing my opinion of Miles; I will not say how I thought of him in the end as I will leave you to make your own decision.
A very interesting read.
Thanks to NetGalley for a Kindle copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Just awful. Poorly written, horrible dialogue and characters completely lacking in development . If I could give this book no stars, I would.

I thought the description of the book sounded interesting, but I was disappointed. The characters all felt one-dimensional, and not especially likable. The story just seemed to plod along. The ending just felt forced, like the author got to the end of the court case and didn't really know where to go from there. This really isn't a book I could recommend, for those reasons.

I had a difficult time reading this book. I did not like the characters. I was hoping the story would get better, but I found my mind wandering while reading and just didn't feel drawn into the story.

Unfortunately, this book was not for me and did not hold my interest.
