England's Dreaming — Justine Elyot

Stiff Upper Lip Collection:

Why not relax with a cup of tea and some thoroughly British crumpet? From 1950s trips to the seaside to 2012 village fêtes for the Diamond Jubilee, we celebrate sixty years of Royal rule with these scrumptious stories that show that famous English reserve is all an act.

England's Dreaming by Justine Elyot

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?
