Jemima Hutton makes jewelled belt buckles and she's determined to make a success of the business – and to keep a dark secret which she's shared with no one. She's camping out in her friend's spare room and another friend is allowing her workshop space. It is ''just'' working until the woman she supplies exclusively decides that she's not going to stock her any more. Jemima is down to walking the streets of York looking for someone who will stock her buckles. She's all but given up when she meets Ben who says that he'll stock the buckles in his guitar shop. But Ben has secrets too – and he's determined that, come what may, he's not going to share them.

There is one character I must mention. Saskia is just about a pantomime villain – you're ready to boo as soon as the name appears and she lacks much in the way of redeeming features, but I loved her! I howled with laughter at some her put-downs and I had a perfect picture of her in my mind's eye. More please!

For more of York we can recommend [[Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson]].
