More about the book

1968 - the year when the spark of rebellion bursts into flames on both sides of the Iron Curtain. In Paris the barricades are going up ... and in Prague 20 years of Stalinist winter are giving way to Spring. Cassie, desired but disillusioned, has fled swinging London to study in Paris, where she longs, Garbo-like, to be alone. But here she will meet the fellow-misfits who will change her life: Rob, Californian peace-and-love draft dodger, Armelle, man-eating heiress and revolutionary, and Viktor, the cynical Czech exile and career pickpocket who sets out to steal her heart. YESTERDAY is a novel about love and rebellion, when youth stormed the barricades of a new age when anything seemed possible. About the Author Lucy Floyd was born in London of Polish-Italian Parentage. She read French at King's College London and spent a year in Paris attending the Sorbonne, working as an Assistante in a Lycée and living in a chambre de bonne, but bears no other resemblance to the heroine of this book. She has written 11 published novels, over 200 short stories, and numerous commissioned screenplays for film and television. Her work has been translated into fourteen languages. In 2008 she moved from London with her photographer husband to the rural heartland of South West France. YESTERDAY was originally published by MacMillan and Pan.
