Getting to the end of 'An Apple for Teacher', a book which tackles in a sensitive fashion one of the tabus (or is it taboo in English?) of our culture, a relationship between a (female) teacher at sixth form college and one of her (male) students, how they try to come to terms with it and handle it as ethically as possible.
Got the idea from a newspaper article series about tabus, although I got the impression from the article that the pair in question skipped the ethical issues and jumped straight to the rumpy-pumpy. Not like my pair, in other words.
I'm afraid it definitely puts me in the chick-lit category, although I prefer to call it romantic drama.
Have a couple of chapters from the next book - on mail-order brides - complete, too.
