When Kenneth Earl realises his memory is failing, he advertises for someone to help him catalogue his vast collection of music, and so create a record of his life. Maggie, the final candidate, is his last hope. But he doesn t guess, when he gives her the job, that the archive will be as much about her past as his -- because this isn t the first time that Maggie has been to Earl House, and it s no coincidence that she applied for the post . . .

‘Not just a good read, but a fireworks display of true talent. A Fred and Ginger extravaganza – and an unforgettable dance’ The Scotsman
‘Azzopardi is an accomplished writer, beautifully weaving the past into the present until her words literally sing off the page’ Stylist magazine Book of the Week
