Step straight into 1964 England: the fashion, the music and the culture immerses the reader as Linda begins to make the personal choices that led to a cultural revolution.
´A book to read in great gulps´ Sheila Newberry

´Beautifully written . . . she has a real talent´ Mary Gibson

Perfect for fans of Daisy Styles and Rosie Clarke. If you loved An Education , Good Girls Revolt and Made in Dagenham then this is for you.

It´s 1964. England has shaken off its post-war gloom and the world is full of possibilities.

Best friends Sandra and Linda live on a housing estate in Essex. They are aspiring mods: they have the music, the coffee bar and Ready Steady Go! on a Friday night.

Having landed their first jobs, Linda and Sandra look set. But the world is changing rapidly, and both girls have difficult choices to make. As Sandra blindly pursues a proposal, Linda finds herself drawn to causes she knows are worth fighting for.

But when Sandra´s quest leads her to local bad boy Danny, she lands both her and Linda in more trouble than they bargained for . . .
A book to read in great gulps Sheila Newberry
Elizabeth Woodcraft grew up on a working class housing estate in Essex. She was a mod and worked in the local milk bar. After attending Birmingham University she taught English in Leicestershire and the Loire Valley. Then she worked for the National Women´s Aid Federation in London and subsequently read for the Bar. During her time at the Bar, she represented Greenham Common Peace Protesters, Anti-Apartheid demonstrators, striking miners and Clause 28 activists. Now she is a full time writer.

Her most recent books are set in the Sixties - mods and rockers, the music of Motown, milk bars and ban-the-bomb marches. With memories of the war and the effects of rationing still being felt, young people are just starting to taste the freedom a little money can bring.
