I loved the series as well as the book, but I do remember that the young Tom Conti was not quite young enough to be believable as a student in his secondary school before going to Cambridge.
I thought of
The Masters, a wonderful book, and it absolutely stands alone. No need to have read the earlier books.
O/T: a personal connection with
The Strangers and Brothers series is that I might not have realized what was happening when I suffered my first retinal detachment had I not read about it in S&B.
