Description

 

How do you find the courage to make your own life?

Marianne is fifteen when she falls helplessly and absolutely in love with Simon.

Simon owns a Morris Minor, is in his final year at school and has a dazzling future ahead of him.

Desperate to escape the stifling 1950s suburbs she has been raised in, Marianne feels sure she will be able to find true happiness with him.

However a twist of fate sees Simon’s glittering future dashed, and with it, Marianne’s dreams.

He flees the country and Marianne, realising she will now have to make a life of her own, moves to London determined to reinvent herself.

But Marianne cannot let go of that first all-encompassing love and all the while Simon is in Paris, nursing a secret that will alter everything.
