A delightful and brilliantly choreographed comedy from bestselling author, Barbara Trapido.
The time is 1995, but everybody has a past. Brilliant Australian Caroline can command everyone except her own ghoulish mother, which means that things aren't easy for Josh and Zoe, her husband with Stravinsky-glasses and 12-year-old daughter. Zoe reads girls' ballet books and longs for lessons; a thing denied her until a chance encounter on a school French exchange.
Meanwhile, on the east coast of Africa, Hattie, Josh's first love, now writes girls' ballet books – that's when she can carve out the space between her husband and her crosspatch daughter. From far and wide, they are all drawn together: a masquerade in which things are not always what they seem.
''A dazzling achievement. It's beautifully-written, deftly-plotted and moves skilfully from domestic drama to global themes and back again.'
The Daily Express
'Beautifully structured, with flashes of wonderful eccentricity.'
The Times
'This wonderful novel sparkles with Midsummer Night's Dream magic.'
