Just wonderful!,
By Olivia (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ballroom Class (Hardcover)
The Ballroom Class follows the lives of three couples learning to dance and the woman who teaches them. Working mum Katie and her stay-at home husband Ross are finding their role reversal a strain on their marriage. They take the class on the advice of their marriage guidance counsellor. Meanwhile, gawky Lauren and her fiance are there to train for the perfect first dance at their wedding. There are plenty of laughs to be had from bride-to-be Lauren's over-the-top wedding plans but, be warned, this novel also had me sobbing on a train. Lucy Dillon writes with such heart, you can't help caring for her characters. A treat from beginning to end.

One hack of a dance-off!,
By
This review is from: The Ballroom Class (Paperback)
Lauren and Chris, engaged to be married, are finding preparing for their wedding harder than they thought. Lauren wants a fairytale, but Chris just wants it over with. Lauren's parents Bridget and Frank are very happily married and proud of their daughter, but Bridget is hiding a secret which is eating her up inside. Finally, Katie and Ross have marital woes, Katie resents going out to work while Ross gets all day with their two children, Hannah and Joe. Can the music bring all the couples closer together and heal the rifts, or is it too late for them all?
This is a novel that really gets to grips with human relationships, their ups and downs, but of course love that will get you through anything, as long as that love is there. As well as the woes, there are plenty of laughs courtesy of Lauren and mother-in-law Irene's elaborate wedding plans, and these two never failed to make me smile! The dancing element really served to bring all of the characters together in one place, and to develop the individual storylines, and I loved the dancing scenes. They were so well written, you could clearly visualise that big old Glitterball on the hall ceiling, and the swishy dresses they wore for the classes! A really wonderful piece of escapist reading, a definite much for not just fans of dance, but also for those who love a fantastic read! For a debut novel, this is superb, and I do hope Lucy Dillon continues to write brilliant books.

The Words Danced Off the Pages,
By
This review is from: The Ballroom Class (Paperback)
This was an absolute joy to read. This novel follows several different characters journey throughout their time with the Ballroom Class. All of the different characters bring a certain charm to the pages, and each character draws you furhter into the book. Katie and Russ leave you wanting and willing them to get on with each other better. Lauren is planning a fairytale wedding, which leaves the reader feeling very sorry for her parents, espcially her father who is blissfully unaware. Angelica's story turns out to be very moving and you soften towards her. You really do not want the book to end, and it leaves you searching high and low for a local dance class. Brilliant.
