Where there's community, there's courage...Jess Delaney has always
longed for independence. But when the Blitz reaches Manchester, she
is locked in the cellar by her feckless mother, Lizzie. As bombs
rain down from a sky turned blood red with flame, Jess waits for
Lizzie to return. But fortunes are fickle, and soon Jess finds
herself packed off to live with her tyrant Uncle Bernie, a bullying
black marketeer. Though he treats her like a servant, she seeks
refuge in the Sally Army and her natural musical talent offers both
an escape route and the chance for love. But Uncle Bernie never
forgives his niece for refusing to join his illegal schemes and
threatens to deprive Jess of her hard-won freedom once and for all.
This is a sweeping saga of hope and resilience perfect for fans of
Kitty Neale and Rosie Goodwin. Praise for Dancing on Deansgate 'A
