Echoes of the dance

In the mellow stone house of his childhood, Roly Carradine has found refuge in the stream running past the garden where a heron makes his nest. A broken marriage and a terrible burden of guilt made Roly remove himself from his busy London life; here in Cornwall he welcomes Kate, who also seeks refuge from the grief of losing her husband, and young Daisy Quin, a dancer recovering from a back injury. Roly's son Nat, a garden designer with his own secret, lives not far away, and is plagued by the unsympathetic visits of his mother Monica, Roly's ex-wife. Daisy, her burgeoning talent frustrated by her back problems, has been taken in by Mim, Roly's sister and a brilliant ballerina until an accident forced her into early retirement. Living in Bath, Daisy thinks she has found love with the attractive schoolmaster in the nearby flat--but her dreams prove to be false ones. Treating Marcia Willett's ardent fans to a return visit with some of her most endearing characters from previous books, Echoes of the Dance is a gem of a story to be savored.

  • "Acclaimed ballerina Mim was forced to give up dancing after a tragic accident. Knowing that her name would attract even more pupils, she is persuaded by a friend, who ran a successful stage school, to join the business. Now, nearly twenty-five years later, history is repeating itself. Daisy, Mim's special protegee, is suffering from injuries and she too will have to rethink her career. Mim arranges for Daisy to take a holiday in Cornwall, in the strange and beautiful house on the edge of Bodmin Moor where Mim's brother, Roly Carradine, is living. Daisy, starting a new love affair, has difficulty in concentrating on her future, but her curiosity and devastating self-awareness enable Roly to take a fresh look at his relationship with the newly widowed Kate Porteous. Meanwhile the arrival of Roly's ex-wife forces their son, Nat, to confront some unfinished business. Roly, Kate, Daisy and Nat must all find resolution in the beauty and peace of the Cornish countryside."
