In Windsor, in the eventful summer of 1985, Simon Levi is trying to outrun the shadow of his father's past and find a place for himself in Thatcher's Britain, when he meets Georgina. A fearless flash-bang of a young woman, she hurtles into his life like a force of nature, jolting him into life and change. A novel of keen humour and wisdom, it tells a story of high emotional voltage, examining the social tensions and changing rhythms of 1980s Windsor. It is a story of first love, family burden, and growing up under the steady gaze of Queen Elizabeth's royal town. As Simon stumbles through work, friendship, ambition, and the weight of inherited history, Georgie becomes both his escape and his awakening, pushing him toward a life he may not be ready to claim. But when love, loyalty, and the future begin pulling him in different directions, Simon must decide whether to keep drifting or finally become the man his own life demands.
