The Glide of Swans Bethan Cole

Oliver George and Alfie Jones are two rival fashion designers launching their own brands in the competitive climate of late nineties London. The two are polar opposites. Alfie - bold, confident and opportunistic launches his brand on celebrity appeal. Pretty soon he has the media adulation he craves. Oliver, prodigiously talented yet plagued by shyness and self-doubt refuses to go down the celebrity route. The Glide of Swans is a modern morality tale about a hare and a tortoise - one on a fast track to fame, riches and an enviable lifestyle and another struggling to make a name for himself whilst retaining his integrity. But which one has what it takes to play the long game?
