It is the summer of 1960 and fifteen-year-old Lila's life is about to change forever. Set free from the confines of school, Lila is in love for the first time, and she maps out a future for herself in which reality and fantasy fuse to form a dangerous mixture, threatening to destroy herself and all those around her.

It is the summer of 1960 and fifteen-year-old Lila's life is about to change forever. Set free from the confines of school, her prison is the small unremarkable town of Burnhead, on the west coast of Scotland. She dreams of escape: from Burnhead, from the damp, from her mother's hysterics, her father's stolidity, and her parents' loveless marriage. Salvation arrives in the form of her beloved Uncle George, a music teacher from London who decides to stage an amateur production of Puccini's Turandot. Lila, in love for the first time, maps out a future for herself in which reality and fantasy fuse to form a dangerous mixture, threatening to destroy herself and all those around her.

Morag Joss left her native Scotland to study singing at the Guildhall School of Music. Since then, she has worked in museums, galleries and higher education as a manager and lecturer and, most recently, as an adviser to arts education to the National Trust. She now writes full time.
