AN ASTOUNDING NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF FRANKIE AND STANKIE AND BROTHER OF THE MORE FAMOUS JACK____________________’A dazzling achievement. It’s beautifully-written, deftly-plotted and moves skilfully from domestic drama to global themes and back again’ – Daily Express ‘Delightful and brilliantly choreographed comedy’ – Sunday Times____________________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 twelve-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.____________________’This wonderful novel sparkles with Midsummer Night’s Dream magic’ – Daily Mail ‘Beautifully structured, with flashes of wonderful eccentricity’ – The Times
