By the acclaimed author of WAKE:

Where love is your only escape ....

1911: Inside an asylum at the edge of the Yorkshire moors,
where men and women are kept apart
by high walls and barred windows,
there is a ballroom vast and beautiful.
For one bright evening every week
they come together
and dance.
When John and Ella meet
It is a dance that will change
two lives forever.

Set over the heatwave summer of 1911, the end of the Edwardian era, THE BALLROOM is a tale of unlikely love and dangerous obsession, of madness and sanity, and of who gets to decide which is which.

Commentaires

Absolutely heart-breaking. One of the best books I’ve ever read
A British version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Moving. Fascinating
An unsentimental and affecting story
Compelling, elegant and insightful.
In this deeply moving book, Hope reminds us that behind everyone’s facade lies something waiting to be rent free
An original, brilliant, evocative novel
A heartbreaking story of how love can flourish in the darkest of times
Part social commentary, part mystery and part dangerous liaison, this poignant story casts an unflinching gaze at the historic treatment of mental health disorders.
Such a magnificent setting definitely demands a story that delivers, all guns blazing. It does, and then some . . . Fiction at it’s finest.
Beautiful

Well-drawn characters that come even more alive with the excellent reading. A gripping story set in a social history background that rings true. A good read.

History that comes alive.
