Aprašymas

It was love at first sight. Fifty years on, disclosure means disaster . . .

1 June 2017.

A crowd gathers and gawps at the scene of a fatal car accident and a ‘face they’ve all seen before’.

In the days leading up to the crash 64-year old Canon William Shearwater, Anglican chaplain and minor sports journalist, is secretly reflecting on his first love, Lucy – a relationship that began in the middle of the 1966 World Cup. Around the same time, Sophie Daggert, a young and recently-widowed English teacher, decides to trace her birth parents.

When Sophie and William eventually meet they’re both taken on a shocking journey of self-discovery.

In a thoroughly British celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, this entertaining novel takes the characters from the record and puts them on to the same street in suburban South London, charting their combined stories through the sixties to the modern day.
