If you loved 'High Fidelity' and 'One Day', you'll fall head over heels for 'End of a Century' ... a very 1990s love story! Join Des and Poppy on their mission to solve the mystery of a 30-year-old love letter in this warm and witty slow-burn romance. It's summer, 1995, and the Britpop boom is at its height. But up in Glasgow, recently-dumped Des McMenemy feels like he's missing the party. Everything changes when Des buys a dazzling vintage 1960s suit and meets the equally dazzling Poppy Akinyi. Des sets out to impress Poppy by tracking down the suit's original owner and returning a love note found in one of its pockets, beginning an adventure that takes Des and Poppy all the way from Glasgow to Camden – the very heart of mid-90s Cool Britannia. Can Des keep his cool around the girl of his dreams and finally learn to commit to the present? Can they find the mysterious Mr D Mahoney? Will they find love along the way? And what will Poppy’s handsome-but-oafish boyfriend think about all this? Find out in 'End of a Century', a romantic comedy with a touch of mystery, a subtle sprinkle of magic and a heart as big as Glasgow! 'A great read. The 1990s setting is terrific. And a perfect ending...' – Donna Spencer, Reedsy Discovery What readers are saying: 'This book has it all. Romance. Mystery. Nostalgia. Witty dialogue. A gentle but gripping plot. I loved it.'
