The year is 1970: the start of a new decade and the heyday of the new era in British education. The new University of Wessex is losing its innocence, and so, in their personal lives, are three students. Harry Godson is a young history undergraduate, a Lancashire shopkeeper's son, wet behind the ears and as green as they come. Emily Bridge and Mary Peterson are fellow Wessex first years from the home counties, lifelong friends, yet with different outlooks and agendas. Each player in this powerful campus chronicle is about to embark on a three-year rollercoaster ride that will shape their lives in more ways than they can possibly imagine. Written by a former history professor from one of the UK's leading 'new' universities, this debut novel is a lively campus fiction set within authentic history.
