Winner of the James Tait Black Fiction Prize For 16-year-old Simon
Crimmons there is not a lot to do. Going nowhere, fed up with
school, he leaves to work as a driver on the trains. That summer he
is introduced to a world of grown-up glamour, strikes and
girlfriends. When Simon falls for the ethereal, aristocratic Varie,
he finds freedom and adventure but will it be at a price? Too
'posh' for the railways, too 'working class' for Varie, Simon must
navigate what it means to be a man as his world is turned upside
down.
