Lucy Page, a young woman from London, travels by train to Vienna in 1963 to study cello before commencing her studies in economics at Cambridge University. On her own for the first time, at Cambridge she boldly forges solid new friendships, explores exciting feminist and political ideologies, delights in the joy of new, young love, and suffers the pain of love lost. This is a sensitive coming-of-age story that will resonate with anyone who remembers the angst of young adulthood in the spring of their lives and the promise of a yet-to-be charted future.
