The ballroom is a magical place, and Ruth Hogan's love and warmth for all the things within it shine brightly in the pages of this wonderful story. She has created such an uplifting world, and the Phoenix Ballroom feels like an old friend of mine - Anton du Beke

Pulsing with life, hope and full of characters that leap off the page and straight into your heart, The Phoenix Ballroom has all the right moves and will enthral and delight everyone who reads it - Mike Gayle

This is exactly the novel I wanted Ruth Hogan to write next. It's packed with her trademark warmth, populated by vulnerable characters she once again brings to life with sensitivity, and is bursting with dark secrets, unresolved tensions and unexpected plot twists - but this time it has added social commentary and takes a great big bite out of the zeitgeist! - Matt Cain

Full of hope - Prima

Kindness, courage and charm aplenty ... connections and conundrums drive a story that thrums with understated sensitivity - Mail on Sunday

Another gem from the queen of heart-filled storytelling, The Phoenix Ballroom is an enchanting tale of community, friendship and acceptance, illuminating the joys of living your life as your own true self whatever your age. With multifaceted characters, crystal clear prose and a luminous story, The Phoenix Ballroom sparkles as kaleidoscopically as the chandeliers that are alight once more. A hugely entertaining read. - Sarah Haywood, bestselling author of THE CACTUS

Ruth Hogan's latest will make your heart soar and your eyes tear up as characters who feel like old friends find the courage to make necessary changes in their lives. I fell in love with Venetia, Kite, and Liberty. The Phoenix Ballroom is an uplifting novel filled with wit, heart, and humor and is as satisfying as a turn around the dance floor. - Janet Skeslien Charles, bestselling author of THE PARIS LIBRARY
