Veronica and Gabe met when they were children at ballet class, and by the time they’d reached their teens, they knew they’d be dancing together forever. Only Gabe’s mother had other ideas.... Twenty-something years later, Veronica no longer dances and life hasn’t turned out how she thought it would. She’s divorced with a needy ex-husband, monosyllabic teenage sons, a sister who fancies herself as a long in the tooth ‘it girl’ and a mother who’s recently moved into a care home. When Veronica receives a letter, she never thought she’d get her past collides with her present. The time’s come for her to share her secret with her family, but she’s not the only one keeping a secret....

Critic reviews

“Michelle has a lovely style, engaging, individual characters with great voices who are comic and charming (reminds me of Marian Keyes). I loved this book.” (Helen Falconer)

The Letter

Not as good as first book in series. Even for dual time line an unusual amount of jumping around in timeline & from character to character. Though it is an interesting story. It kept my attention throughout. I think this would be better to physically read. Narrators male voices sounded odd & far too old for the characters representing.
