Absolutely loved this brilliant novel in which issues of race, gender and class are central to the story about 2 friends who meet at a dance class as children. The story follows them through their childhoods and into their complicated and very different adult lives. I found the writing engaging and the plot and characters convincing. I loved the story; I found it thought provoking and interesting, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a considered read rather than a race-along page turner.
