Rich heiress to a good family, Sophie, has but one passion: the English royal family. Since August 1997, everything that's happened at Windsor Castle seems to mirror her own life: her parents and Lady Di died the same way on the same night. Now she lives with her addled grandmother, feeling more dead than alive. For her first solo Christmas, she picks out a hotel near Buckingham Palace. In a souvenir shop, she loads up on queen figurines. Cups, glasses, plates, and thimbles are treasures that fill her with joy. But her enthusiasm is deflated when she learns the Queen isn't in London. In fact, no one seems to know where she is! So Sophie sets out to find her...
A sweet fantasy of gentle madness, London Bridge explores our fascination for icons and our capacite for reinvention, both light and dark.
