The book follows Flo through the World War II years in Liverpool and on through her life. It also tells Millie’s story, her harsh upbringing and her coming face to face with these dark family secrets. Personally I never felt overly connected to any character. Flo, with her bad choices usually made me want to smack her and Millie was so guarded and uptight that it was difficult to break through and find a sympathetic character underneath her false front. Many of the events in the book felt a little forced and unbelievable so I wasn’t drawn into the story. I suspect that this will be a book that I will have trouble recalling in a few months as I found nothing memorable about it.
I usually enjoy Maureen Lee’s books, but Dancing In the Dark will not be added to my list of this author’s favorite books. ( )
