The Phoenix Ballroom: A Novel por Ruth Hogan
This was such a sweet story about how you are never to old to achieve your dreams or make a change in your life. The characters were all believable and their relationships were genuine. This is a book that will make you happy and want to see the best in people. Thanks to Goodreads for the ARC!

I want to write a word. I don't know why I read this book to the end. In my opinion this book panders to those of us who want to believe in human connections and happy endings. Everything fits together neatly.
And I'm still a little unsure -- were the little stories true, somehow divined by the man who wrote them? Or were they in his style but the real truth that he didn't know? Because if he knew then why would he keep things like the friendship bracelet from the rapist/teacher?
My biggest complaint/concern/criticism is, of course, the mystical powers endowed on Sunshine.
Sincerely, Fran… (mais)

Oh, boy. This was lovely. There were parts that I worried might turn too dark, but trust me -- they are not. Just enough shadow to give definition and plausibility to this very magical story. If you are a fan of Sarah Addison Allen or Ellen Herrick, you'll almost certainly like this. Especially if you are an Anglophile, like I am.
