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. 'Witty, tragic and emotional. If there's a better-observed comic novel about the 1960s, I'll eat my kaftan.' \u003cb\u003eCindy Kent MBE, (ex-The Settlers)\u003c\/b\u003e 'Goddard's knowledge of popular culture is extraordinary, and the way he weaves it into a believable range of characters makes this book utterly compelling.
