Description
On the day of Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee, worlds collide, and so do bodies. A pearl-wearing girl and a punk boy—can it ever work? Everybody in Camberwick Square is thrilled to be celebrating the Queen's Silver Jubilee—everyone, that is, except the punk-rock squatters at number forty-one. When auction-house assistant Emily tries to interest art student Ciaran in joining in the jamboree, he ends up much more personally involved than he ever envisaged. They aren't exactly the best-matched couple in the world, but somehow their breathless passion takes them through street parties and fetishwear shops, towards their final destination of a rather special boat trip on the Thames. But will passion be enough to keep this pearl-wearing princess and Irish punk boy together against the odds? Or will convention prevail and hold them apart?
