Like every other seventeen-year-old boy, Joe has one eye on his studies, the other on his social life – smoking, Britpop, girls. Hes looking ahead to a gap year full of travel and adventure before university when his teacher – attractive, mid-thirties – takes an interest in him. It seems like a fantasy come true. For his final two years at school, he is bound to her, a woman twice his age, in an increasingly tangled web of coercion, sex and lies. Their affair, a product of complex grooming and a shocking abuse of authority, is played out in the corridors of one of Britains major private schools, under the noses of people who suspected, even knew, but said nothing. Thirty years on, this is Joes gripping record of the illicit relationship that dominated his adolescence and dictated the course of his life for seventeen years. With a heady dose of nineties nostalgia and the perfectly captured mood of those final months at school, Joe charts the enduring legacy of deceit and the indelibility of decisions made at seventeen.

In real life, hes still figuring out what he was meant to be. Life has not exactly gone to plan, but its been eventful. When hes not writing, Joe spends as much time as possible walking his ageing hound, looking for purpose and adventure. Joe Gibson is a pseudonym. Seventeen is his first book.
