A witty, at times cynical look at life through the antics of a group of people at a music/literary festival. Some are going there to forget, some to reclaim youth, some to re-establish old links and some just to have a thoroughly wild time. It’s a good way to throw a mixed bunch together and the author has great fun developing the romantic entanglements and humorous situations. All very tongue-in-cheek. ~ Sarah Broadhurst
