Once a place of glamour, the seaside resort of Setton is now decrepit: the Spanish City pleasure park is boarded up; its famous Charleston rollercoaster turning rapidly to rust. Only in Moscadini's ice-cream parlour is the past preserved. It is here that the world-weary teacher Hal Price is brought by his teenage kidnappers to meet a ghost. As the snow falls outside and Hal relives the memories of his dancing days, he tells the boys a story of wartime dreams and peacetime disappointments, of love, betrayal, death and resurrection...
Brilliantly evoking the boom and bust of post-war England, Spanish City is a tale as unique and breathtaking as the Charleston Coaster itself.
