Why a Booktrail?
2000s: One person is all it takes to change a lifetime . . . But how will you know if they’re the one?
Only You
What you need to know before your trail
Present
Letty and Alf are the only English speakers at an Italian class in Rome, where they discover the language that really connects them is dance: Letty’s first love was ballet, while Alf was a junior ballroom champion. They come from different worlds, until the moment they waltz around the Piazza Navona, and everything changes.
Past
But one moment can’t change the past, and it’s clear that Alf and Letty still have their secrets. What caused them to leave their lives behind in England? And who, or what, are they running from? As their relationship deepens, it becomes harder and harder to tell the truth…
Future
When the unthinkable happens, Letty returns to London and Alf to Blackpool. Will they spend their lives apart, or discover a future together?
Travel Guide
Travel to Rome then London and Blackpool BookTrail style
A book about expats and how destination separates and unites.
Alf:
“He has lived in Rome for six months, but the way the morning light gives a kind of beauty to the shabbiest of buildings still lifts him. It’s walk to the school, strolling past sites that in an hours time will be thronging with tourists. It feels like a privilege, like being along in a free pass in a theme park or something.”
Then there’s the most familiar sites
“..the Circus Maximum, then a tree-lined slopes up between the Palatine and the Caelian, two of the seven hills, Suddenly you’re in front of the Colosseum.”
The other two locations are London and Blackpool – not as glamorous but just as great for dancing and music! The Ballroom tower is the place of dance in Blackpool and it’s where Strictly Come Dancing is filmed.
