Sweeping, soulful, and simply stunning… Dance of the Earth is an unforgettable read that belongs on every historical fiction shelf. If you are looking for a saga with emotional depth, exquisite historical detail, and a cast of characters whose pursuit of beauty will stay with you long after the final page, look no further. Highly, highly recommended. Rebecca Rosenberger, historical novelist.
This book was so beautifully written I actually found myself enjoying the dance parts more than I thought I would… A beautiful story of love, heartbreak, and living your truth.
The cast of characters dances across the page and we care what happens to them - an essential ingredient of a good book.
Dance of the Earth is immersive, detailed, and very moving.
I absolutely devoured Dance of the Earth. I was hooked from the very first page… Holmes paints a hypnotic world of ballet dance and pulls the characters into this world so effortlessly… A powerful and captivating story.
I can see this book as a Sunday night screenplay adaptation, each episode full of dance, music and vibrant coloured costumes. This is a wonderful, very well researched book blending imagined characters with real people.
