Critical acclaim for Adèle Geras

Hester’s Story

‘Her engaging style keeps the story fresh. The world of international ballet provides colourful characters and is the perfect setting for passion and tragedy in this slick and ultimately likeable novel’ Bella

‘Geras’s many stories for children are wonderful and now she brings her finely observed gifts to adult readers with an extra emotional punch’ Oxford Times

‘In an always entertaining and absorbing tale, Geras … captures the erotic character of dance and dancers’ Jewish Chronicle

‘A spellbinding saga’ Company

Facing the Light

‘A real lose-yourself-in-it book, Facing the Light has everything: a wonderful matriarch, a family gathering, a tragedy, a mystery – and a great love affair. Beautifully written, wonderfully evocative, it draws you into its haunting past and complex present, weaving the two together with charm and skill … A not-to-be-missed treat’ Penny Vincenzi

‘A hugely enjoyable read, the perfect accompaniment to lazing in a bubble bath after a hard day at the office. If you like Wesley and Howard, or Binchy and Pilcher even, you will love this book … this is about as good as popular fiction gets’ Amy Matheson, Scotsman

‘An enjoyable and entertaining read from an accomplished storyteller’ Time Out

‘You’ll be hooked from the start and when you’ve finished it, you’ll wish you hadn’t’ Company
