WAKE

THE BALLROOM

1911: Inside an asylum at the edge of the Yorkshire moors, where men and women are kept apart, 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.

THE WHITE ROCK

In 2020 an Englishwoman travels to give thanks for her child, a singer in 1969 runs from the law, from his rabid fans and an America burning with the fever of the Vietnam War, two Yoeme sisters are torn from their homeland at the start of the twentieth century, and in 1775 a Spanish Lieutenant prepares to set sail from the White Rock to continue the conquest of the Pacific coast. The White Rock is a breathtaking novel about what happens when the stories we have lived by can no longer keep us safe.
