2 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
Two women. Two love affairs. One unforgettable story. Kings Cross station, 1943. Rose arrives in London hoping to swap the drudgery of wartime for romance, glamour and jiving with GIs at Rainbow Corner, the famous dance hall in Piccadilly Circus. As the bombs fall, Rose loses her heart to a pilot but will lose so much more before the war has done its worst. Las Vegas, present day. A beautiful woman in a wedding dress walks into a seedy bar and asks the first man she sees to marry her. When Leo slips the ring onto Jane's finger, he has no idea that his new wife will stop at nothing to get what she wants. So when Jane meets Rose, now a formidable older lady, there's no love lost between them. But with time running out, can Rose and Jane come together to make peace with the tragic secrets that have always haunted their lives? After the Last Dance is an extraordinary story of two women, separated by time but connected by fate, that will make you believe in the redemptive power of unexpected love.

Was so disappointed! Very clunky and didn't flow plus Jane was really annoying and just could not care for it.

This is Sarra Manning's fourth #adult book, about Rose, who runs away from home to London during the Second World War, and Jane, another runaway, who encounters Rose in the present day. I loved Rose and her WW2 story immediately but took longer to warm to the present-day characters, though I loved that they're as complicated and difficult as real people. Ultimately I really enjoyed it! #historical #sarramanning #litsyforandroid

misswendyd I just ordered this one! On its way from The Book Depository. I'm glad to see you liked it. :) 8y
JazzFeathers I'm always wary of dual timelines. It always seem that one of the two is disappointing 8y
