One handstand. That's all it took. And Lucy Pitcher spun William Shearwater's world upside down. Fifty years on, 'Shears' is a squeaky-clean Anglican chaplain, nursing memories of a lost and secret love. He has never met English teacher Sophie Daggert, recently bereaved and on a quest to trace her natural parents. But through a mesmerizing series of twists and turns, Sophie and Shears are brought together in a shocking journey of self-discovery - with 1967's Summer of Love at the heart of it all.

A splendid read is guaranteed for all.' Don Maclean, former presenter of BBC TV's Crackerjack!
