Publisher Description
Four women, one sleepy village ... It's time to give life a whirl.
The Welsh village of Morlan is a beautiful place to live, but four of its female residents are searching for more. Gwen appears to have it all but her marriage is on the rocks. Meg struggles with her health and her love life has barely got a pulse. Recently widowed Ivy wonders whether she can revamp more than just her home. Summer dearly loves her young children but is desperate to broaden her horizons beyond her sleep-deprived fog.
The announcement that pole dancing exercise classes are coming to the village hall brings the disparate group together and a bond is formed that will help them with the trials and tribulations that lie ahead.
'Poles Apart is an absolute joy to read and a reminder of the value of female friendship' Helga Jensen, author of Fly me to Paris
'This book is an absolute tonic. If you need a lift, read it!' Luisa A. Jones, author of The Broken Vow
Customer Reviews
A real page turner
The notion of pole dancing classes being held in a small village appealed so much to me that I jumped at the chance of reading this book.
Set in Wales, Poles Apart is very funny and touching. The plot follows the blossoming friendships of four of the women in the class: Ivy, Gwen, Meg and Summer, aged between 20 to 70, all at different stages in their lives. Almost immediately there's disapproval in the village with a petition raised to ban the classes, this makes the women determined to continue their once-a-week activity. Once I had worked out the backgrounds of each woman, I found the book unputdownable. I won't give more away of the plot, just that it's a compelling read and thoroughly recommended.
