A Time to Dance

by Melvyn Bragg

Summary

Set in England's Lake District, this novel tells the story of an obsessive love affair between a 54-year-old retired bank manager and a young woman of 18 who comes from a poor and boisterous Irish family.

A lifetime of restraint and placid affection erupts when a retired bank manager falls for a young girl, as far removed from him in background and experience as in age. Set in Cumbria, this is an intensely moving evocation of an overwhelming passion and its destructive kernel of jealousy.
