Amanda Prowse's new novel takes place in the volatile, rebellious sixties. Dot Simpson, a girl from the working-class neighborhoods of London, meets a wealthy foreigner, Sol, whose lifestyle and appearance are too different from that of the conservative neighborhoods where she grew up. But the forbidden fruit is sweet, and young people are desperately drawn to each other, despite public censure. Who will fail first? The environment or the lovers themselves? This is not another story about Romeo and Juliet - rather about a long-term war that divided people due to ridiculous prejudices. Amanda Prowse's new novel takes a clearer look than ever at the prejudices and inequalities that still plague our society.
