It is made so dramatic by an excellent feeling for character and the twists and turns of fortune that affect their lives. I tried to ration how much I read in one reading session as I wanted to prolong my enjoyment of the book but I was enjoying the book too darn much to stick to my ration. As the political landscape is changing, the Buckingham Hotel stands firm in its resolve to remain unchanged. I also got all wrapped up in Hotel Manager Maynard Charles' story which was, at times, heartbreaking. The ballroom is very centre stage in the story and the dancers that put on a show that says everything is normal here, while outside the undercurrents of unrest in Europe is never far away.
Registered office address: Unit 34 Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE5 3EF. Again Du Beke maintains his authentic grasp of the period era adding real substance to the romantic liaisons and dramas of another year in the hotel.The time period bursts to life on every page and I thoroughly enjoyed the different characters with their contrasting lives and problems. The book wasn’t exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me.
Santa MontefiorePrepare to be swept off your feet by the romantic and irresistible new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author and Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du BekeLondon, 1937.At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. Anton is not just a talented, suave and debonair dancer and a respected television personality but is also now a very sophisticated, intelligent and creative author.
Of course being known for his dancing skills on "Strictly come dancing" this story centred around the ballroom of the Grand Buckingham hotel.
The staff and guests of the Buckingham soon discover that in a hotel full of secrets, there’s always someone listening . Du Beke’s understanding of the prevailing economic and political backdrop brings much to the story and the growing threats of war and its devastating implications imbue the story with a spirit of ceasing the moment in a perilous world.
Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids. Dance obviously features heavily and in this book, Raymond brings new trends from America such as the jitterbug whilst also enjoying the traditional dances of the ballroom. If you haven't already read the first in series, I would recommend you do that before starting this one - character development and backstory and all that! I wish to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an e-copy of this book which I have reviewed honestly. I doubt the novel would work as well as it does if read as a stand-alone, with much of the enjoyment coming from seeing how far the characters who came to life in the first novel fare in the second.Right from the book cover to the delightful and endearing characters this book oozes class and warmth. Meanwhile Frank, Nelly’s younger brother arrives at the Buckingham to take up a new job that will involve him in far more than simply working as a Porter. Shaken by the Great Depression and withtalk of another war coming, the Buckingham Hotel is trying to regain some stability.
