Forgotten Waltz, The (2012 Shortlisted For The Orange Prize)

Description: If it hadn't been for the child then none of this might have happened. She saw me kissing her father. She saw her father kissing me. The fact that a child got mixed up in it all made us feel that it mattered, that there was no going back. "The Forgotten Waltz" is that rare thing: the literary page turner...It is an acutely tender depiction of the complex familial bonds joining us, a delicate portrait of love, loss and hope, from a formidably talented writer". (Claire Kilroy, "Financial Times").
