Description
It's the summer of 1976 and Adrea is falling in love, while nursing the decrepit residents of Heron Close, a care home in Chalk Farm. This is the summer that sees Blue Oyster Cult and Supertramp superseded by Patti Smith and the Stranglers, and as the heat rises in and out of the Roundhouse, the lives of Heron Close's residents and carers are about to blister and burn.

"'Full of drifting imagery, heady with the fever of first love, city heat and rock'n'roll, and bursting with off-kilter characterisation...' Metro"
