Ruth Hogan's latest novel is a perfect summer read, and she is offering you the chance to win a Luxor travel bag plus a bottle of bubbly!The Phoenix Ballroom by Ruth Hogan - the best-selling author of The Keeper of Lost Things - is a gorgeously warm story of second chances, hope and community. If you love page-turners filled with heart and unforgettable characters, it is the perfect summer read for you.
Recently widowed Venetia Hamilton Hargreaves is left with a huge house, a bank balance to match and an uneasy feeling that she has been sleepwalking through the past 50 years. Determined to live fully again, she embraces life with a purpose she had forgotten she had.
Buying the dilapidated Phoenix Ballroom, and with it a drop-in centre and spiritualist church, could be seen as reckless, but Venetia's generosity, courage and kindness provide a refuge for a touching cast of damaged and lonely people who find their chosen family.As their stories intertwine, long-buried secrets are revealed, missed opportunities seized and lives renewed as the Phoenix lives up to its name.
The book is already gathering fans such as the writer Pip Williams, who says 'every page is a joy', and the king of the ballroom himself, Anton Du Beke, who calls it 'a wonderful story'.
