Struan Robertson, orphan and 17, leaves his native town of Cuik and arrives in London in the fine summer of 1989. His job is to care for Phillip, dumbfounded and paralysed by a stroke. As the city bakes, Struan finds himself tangled in a midsummer's dream of mistaken identity, giddying property prices, wild swimming and passions.
