Shelf life: Looking at secular books
Dexter and Emma had a one-night stand on the last day of their university careers, July 15 1989. Emma is a working-class girl: earnest, hard-working and not a little chippy. Dexter is a public-school educated charmer who changes his girlfriends almost as often as he changes his sheets.
