Men Dancing
Women's Fiction
A chance meeting with a performer you admire – an exciting story to tell your family and friends. But not if that excitement turns into the chronic ache of obsession...
Dr Rosie Buchanan – weary hospital scientist, frustrated musician, cheated wife and struggling mother – finds herself sitting next to charismatic Royal Ballet star Alejandro Cortés on a London train. Half an hour later, she starts to feel she’s misheard her true calling – and is soon doing research of a very different kind.
Rosie arranges a bogus research visit at Alejandro’s home, and is thrilled when he and his girlfriend ask her to teach them the piano. And she tries to overcome the pain of her failing marriage to Jez, and the obsession with Alejandro, by accepting comfort from consultant Ricardo Pereira. But so begins a complex dance of passion, betrayal, loss and redemption...
Sensual, witty, and at times deeply moving, Cherry Radford’s first novel is a sweeping tour-de-force.
