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.
