Dancing Backwards by Salley Vickers
The brilliant new work from the bestselling author of Miss Garnets Angel and The Other Side of You.‘“Dancing Backwards” is a delightful read – comic, sad, tender and utterly engrossing’ Lisa O’Kelly, Observer
‘Salley Vickers has a gift for making the most unlikely settings for fiction absolutely compelling…peerless story telling.’ Independent
‘Packs a surprising emotional and intellectual punch….a wonderfully satisfying, richly rewarding journey for the reader.’ The Times
‘This novel’s central triumph is its portrait of a heroine steadily – and with immense hope – working through the dramas of her quietly difficult life…that is perhaps Vickers’s most appealing characteristic: her essential optimism.’ Sunday Telegraph
‘An elegant waltz through a personal history littered with betrayal and regret, crisply and carefully told.’ Guardian
'Graceful and absorbing … nobody can dig down into the shrouded recesses of the human heart quite as forensically as [Vickers] does.' Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times
Salley Vickers divides her time between London and Venice. Previously a university lecturer in English, when not writing she practices as a psychologist and still lectures widely on the connections between literature, psychology and religion.
