Publisher Description
Betrayed by love, George turns to dance…
In this coming-of-age novel, set in 1960s Britain, young George is uprooted from the seaside home he's always known. When a friendly adult exploits his trust, he must rely on his performing talent or risk losing his sanity. A lonely American housewife becomes his ally and champion. Yet even success in the entertainment world of Swinging London can't stop old issues from consuming him.
For readers who enjoy the complexity of Sally Rooney or dark internal stories, such as Young Mungo or A Little Life, try The Man Dance.
