Does anyone know the author of the novel entitled Class; it's about a painter in Oxford. I'm slowly going through Amazon.co.uk, but there are so many versions of the word class, title-wise. Ta Muchly.

Hi Terry

Are you sure that you've got the exact title? By law, a copy of every book published in the UK has to be deposited with the British Library but their catalogue only lists six books with the one-word title 'Class' and they're all non-fiction works.

Have you any other clues which might help?

Hi Chris anD Many Thanks for what you've done so far. All I can add is that it's a recent book, reviewed in 2015, in the Daily Mail I think and I'm sure it was that one word title - and I'm up to page 10, item 145 in amazon so far!
Although reading the excerpt it doesn't seem to follow the synopsis you gave I'm afraid
Question Author
Many Thanks for all your research, Chris, Fitzer and Mamya and I agree that the synopsis doesn't read right and I would have been stymied with an ebook anyway.
But in all the 10 pages so far on Amazon, Alison Hathaway didn't come up, so hopefully if I continue, then the right book may appear - such is love.
Pat Barker has a trilogy entitled Life Class, of which the third book Noonday came out in 2015, the first novel,Life Class, is set in the Slade School of art
That's a possibility, Fitzer, but (given that the Guardian reviewed it in 2007) it seems unlikely that it was reviewed just last year in the Mail:

I was thinking about the third book being reviewed in 2015 and referring back to the first, I know it's clutching at straws but when your needle is in a haystack that's what you do :-)
Question Author
I'm sorry Fitzer, it's nowt to do with Pat Barker's stuff, my partner's read those and it was she who mentioned the Class novel, but I can't ask her for more details as it is - if I find it - to be part of her birthday pressie, but Many Thanks anyway.
