Marcia Willett

    6 agosto 1945

    Marcia Willett intraprese la carriera di scrittrice a cinquant'anni, ma trovò presto la sua nicchia nella letteratura. Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da una profonda intuizione nelle relazioni umane, esplorando le complessità dei legami familiari e le svolte della vita. Willett ritrae i suoi personaggi e i loro mondi con sensibilità, spesso ambientati in pittoreschi scenari rurali che conferiscono alle sue storie un'atmosfera unica. Il suo stile è sottile e penetrante, pieno di empatia e comprensione della natura umana.

    • In the mellow stone house of his childhood, Roly Carradine has found refuge from a broken marriage. Here he welcomes Kate, who has just lost her husband, and young Daisy Quin, a dancer recovering from a back injury. Roly’s son Nat lives not far away, and he must suffer visits of his unsympathetic mother Monica, Roly’s ex-wife. All seek peace and quiet, but the disclosure of a secret proves that life is not so simple. . . . Treating Marcia Willett’s ardent fans to a return visit with some of her most endearing characters from previous books, Echoes of the Dance is a gem of a story to be savored.

Although her childhood friend, Will, is there to help her through her grief she soon realises there were things her father was hiding from her ... Jules is also mourning Martin, but they thought best to keep their relationship secret, she must now grieve entirely alone. All she has to remember her love are the memories of their time spent at a beautiful community garden and teashop nearby.

      It has been a house of secrets for over sixty years - Bridge House on the edge of Exmoor, beautiful and remote, a wild place where the sound of the rushing stream is ever present. Clio is staying there with her godmother Hester, reliving happy childhood memories. Jonah, visiting the area, chances upon the house where his mother stayed as a child during the fevered atmosphere of the second world war, a time when passions ran high. They don't yet know it, but their histories are inextricably linked. Hester knows the truth, but how much should she tell them? What would be gained by raking over the past? As the young couple become closer, Hester realises that they must know the truth, before it is too late.
