The brilliant new work from the bestselling author of 'Miss
Garnet's Angel' and 'The Other Side of You'. Violet Hetherington
has taken the rash step of joining a transatlantic cruise ship to
New York to visit Edwin, an old friend. As she makes the six day
crossing, she relives the traumatic events that led to her losing
Edwin's friendship, and abandoning her career as a poet, for the
safety of marriage and domesticity. Despite her natural reserve,
she meets a rich variety of passengers travelling with her, who
affect her understanding of her own past. Most significantly, she
meets Dino, the dance host, whose motives in befriending Vi are
shady, but who teaches her to ballroom dance - and inadvertently
helps her to recover from her past. Moving between the late sixties
and the present day, 'Dancing Backwards' is written with the
lightness of touch and psychological insight which characterise
Salley Vickers' acclaimed work. This bittersweet novel is subtle,
poignant and wonderfully entertaining.
