John Chapman (8)

Peggie Sheridan was a dancer. She lived, and performed, in the British Empire of the 1920s and 1930s. She died in 2004, alone and unrecognised, but still survives in the memories of those who knew her.

A fresh style and captivating storyline describe Peggie’s fascinating personality through her several "hard times". Her love for dance and her need to perform are tangible throughout the book. The pressures of growing up in the theatre, a child’s perspective of family turmoil and disruptive relationships are just some of the aspects of her existence, and they are brilliantly depicted by the author.
