Emma (working class, political, strong-minded) and Dexter (country house upbringing, trades on his looks) have a one-night post-graduation fling on 15 July 1988. They and their shifting relationship are revisited every St Swithin's Day for the next twenty years. I didn't like it much at first, but got drawn in - it's funny enough and honest enough to keep you reading.
