An outrageously funny story of pursuit, heartache
and romance, from Wales to New Zealand,
in the Swinging Sixties.
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction…

The beating heart of this extraordinary novel is its realism, because it is essentially a true love story, with real people, real places, and real events. It’s a story that stretches across the  world, across cultures. It’s an engrossing discovery of the extraordinary lengths to which our young Welsh protagonist is prepared to go – up and down the entire country in his bright-red sports car as he pursues his Kiwi love on her quest to win the Miss Zealand Beauty Contest.  It’s a rollicking good laugh!

Tender and sexy, fast-paced and hilarious, this real romp of a story has everyone rooting for our hero right to the irresistble end…
