We Should Dance

Pitsford Series #2

by Stuart Harrison

The sequel to The Flyer, and the second book in the Pitsford Series, is a story of love, passion and tragedy that moves from England to the Hollywood movie colony during the 1920’s, a period when the glamour and excitement of the flapper era was taking hold.
We Should Dance brings back the three friends who were caught in a tangled love triangle in The Flyer, and as their lives and fates continue to be bound together, introduces fascinating and colorful new characters.
In Illinois, a young girl dreams of leaving her impoverished home and becoming an actress in the movies, and when a biplane piloted by a young stunt-flyer lands in the field outside her house, Mona Curtiss knows that her life is about to change forever.
The heady days at the beginning of the Golden Age of Hollywood are blended with the excitement and romanticism of barnstorming in this story where passion and love clashes with ambition and rivalry, propelling the cast of characters towards their eventual, inevitable destinies

About the author

I was born in 1958 in Northamptonshire, England. Left school at 16 with no particular distinction and moved to New Zealand in 1980 where I subsequently worked in a variety of occupations until I began writing novels at the age of thirty seven. Three were universally rejected until The Snow Falcon was bought by publishers in sixteen countries in 1999 and went on to become a bestseller. At the time I was living in England again and during the next few years lived in Ireland and Australia before returning to New Zealand where I now live with my family in the Bay Of Islands.

We should dance

The sequel to The Flyer, a novel set during the war and the pilots who flew the planes. This is about 2 of those pilots, their loves and losses. You will fly with them and be there when they shoot down the enemy. A roller coaster of emotions throughout makes this novel hard to put down. Recommend

As with all Stuart Harrison's books I was swept along, just adore his style of writing. Awaiting the next novel in the series.
He writes in an exquisite, sensitive way which I find very very appealing I am a great fan of his.

very good

[Sue Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Historical action fiction. Development of air flight is the central theme, with treachery, sex, gangsters and movie stars thrown in for good measure. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
