Whatever Happened to Billy Shears?

One handstand. Thats all it took. And Lucy Pitcher spun William Shearwaters world upside down. Fifty years on, Shears is a squeaky-clean Anglican chaplain, nursing memories of a lost and secret love. He has never met English teacher Sophie Daggert, recently bereaved and on a quest to trace her natural parents. But through a mesmerizing series of twists and turns, Sophie and Shears are brought together in a shocking journey of self-discovery with 1967s Summer of Love at the heart of it all. Witty, tragic and emotional. If theres a better-observed comic novel about the 1960s, Ill eat my kaftan. Cindy Kent MBE, (ex-The Settlers) Goddards knowledge of popular culture is extraordinary, and the way he weaves it into a believable range of characters makes this book utterly compelling. A splendid read is guaranteed for all. Don Maclean, former presenter of BBC TVs Crackerjack!
