The Ballroom
“Compelling, elegant and insightful”. (Observer). “Beautifully wrought, tender, heartbreaking”. (Sunday Express 5/5). “Moving, fascinating”. (Times). “A tender and absorbing love story”. (Daily Mail). “Unsentimental and affecting”. (Sunday Times). “Exquisitely good”. (Metro). 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 historical love story. It tells a page-turning tale of dangerous obsession, of madness and sanity, and of who gets to decide which is which.
