“A Month of Sundays” by John Owens

Teacher John O’Driscoll is on a quest to win the woman he loves

About the Book:

John O’Driscoll is madly in love with Karen Black but is so mesmerised by her beauty that in her presence his brain refuses to function.
He walks in fear of school governor Father Kennedy, a man with nasal hair so terrifying it gives grown men nightmares and sends small animals scurrying for cover.
And all O’Driscoll’s efforts to impress Karen seem to end in disaster and public humiliation at the hands of the cantankerous cleric.
Will O’Driscoll stay out of the pub long enough to win Karen over? Will he stay out of Father Kennedy’s reach for long enough to have his teaching contract renewed?
Follow the adventures of our bumbling hero over a month of Sundays as he embarks on a shambolic quest to save his job and win the heart of the woman he loves.

About the Author:

John Owens was born in Cork in the Republic of Ireland and moved to London with his family as a child. After gaining a history degree at Sussex University he worked in industry and as an English teacher in China, Turkey and Spain. He currently works in a special school in the U.K. and when he is not teaching enjoys going to the races and watching Arsenal play football. He lives in the West Midlands with his partner, two children, dog and cat.

Excerpt from the Book:

“If John O’Driscoll had been asked whether there was any way in which a week that had begun with him vomiting into a nun’s handbag could finish on an even more disastrous note, he would have laughed the idea off as ludicrous. He would, however, have been wrong, and the fact that his failure to predict the future would come as less of a surprise to those who knew him than it did to him said much for the esteem in which O’Driscoll’s abilities were generally held. For John O’Driscoll was often wrong: in fact, there were those who said that he had made it his life’s work to be wrong about pretty much everything.”
