Summary |
"1911: Inside an asylum on the edge of the Yorkshire moors, where men and women are kept apart by high walls and barred windows, there is a ballroom, vast and beautiful. For one bright evening every week, they come together and dance. When John and Ella meet, it is a dance that will change two lives forever. Set during the heat wave in the summer of 1911 at the end of the Edwardian era, this is a tale of unlikely love and dangerous obsession, of madness and sanity, and the delicate balance between the two"-- Provided by publisher. |

1911. Inside Sharston Asylum on the edge of the Yorkshire moors, men and women are kept apart by high walls and barred windows.

When one gets a chance to leave Sharston for good, John and Ella face a dilemma: whether to cling to familiar comforts or to confront a new world-- living apart, yet forever changed. |
