Synopsis
Virginity will just not do, but it can stick to you like glue. When Lucy hits NW3, to stay with her old great-aunt, she is confident of losing hers. And several sets of loins she stirs, but is she going to land a man or lose them all ...?
With no fixed plan, but ranging whimsically through space and time in its attempt to trace, the progress of a young girl hurled into a magic, manic world. This boisterous, barmy and bizarre verse novel is the best by far from Bolt (although, as it's his first, it's also by some way the worst).
