Publisher's Synopsis
The time is 1995, but everyone has a past. Brilliant Australian Caroline can command everyone except her own ghoulish mother - things aren't easy for Josh and Zoe, her husband and twelve-year-old daughter. Josh has bizarre origins in South Africa, but now teaches mime in Bristol. Zoe reads girls' ballet books and longs for ballet lessons. Meanwhile, on the east coast of Africa, Hattie Thomas, Josh's first love, has taken to writing girls' ballet books from the turret of her fabulous house - that's when she can carve out a space between her alpha male husband Herman and her crosspatch daughter Cat. From far and wide, they are all drawn together; drawn to beautiful, mysterious Jack. Or is he Jacques? Or Giacome?
