Betrayed by love, George turns to dance...
In postwar Britain, young George lives with his family by the sea, where his striking looks and talent for dance attract attention. But an abrupt move dumps him into the cruel pit of boarding school. When boundaries are crossed, he must rely on his performing talent or risk falling apart.
His teenaged heart is smitten by Jill, a lonely American wife, who offers stability and friendship...and becomes pivotal in his pursuit of a career.
Yet George is haunted by a past that could derail his growing fame as an actor. He must balance his job, his sanity-while dodging that figure from his past-and keep the affection of his dearest Jill.
For readers who enjoy the youthful poignancy of a Sally Rooney novel or a dark story, such as Young Mungo or A Little Life, try The Man Dance.
Kirkus Review calls The Man Dance, An unnerving but highly readable historical novel about a troubled teen.
The Man Dance is a brave book...a serious yet satisfying read. -BloodAlleyDiaries.com
