Bede University provides the setting for Some Friendly Advice, a darkly comic novel by Robin Fenwick exploring the competing ambitions and professional relationships of university staff.
About the book
At Bede University, everyone has an opinion. Most of them are convinced they are right.
As a new academic year begins, the staff of the Department of Modern English Language and Linguistics find their carefully constructed lives coming apart. Ambitions collide, old grudges resurface and professional principles prove to be surprisingly negotiable.
It's no longer a climb to the top just a struggle to avoid being pushed off.
A darkly comic novel about academic life, fragile egos and the extraordinary lengths people will go to in order to remain important.
