Description
An unputdownable tale of obsession, jealousy and heartache against the backdrop of WW2
May 1945 and at long last, Rosamund Caradon is feeling optimistic. As she returns the last few evacuees to London from her Devonshire manor, she vows to protect dance-obsessed daughter Jasmine from further peril.
But a chance meeting with a Sadler’s Wells ballet dancer changes everything.
When the beautiful, elusive Briar Woods bursts into Rosamund’s train carriage, it’s clear her sights are set on the immediately captivated Jasmine. And Rosamund cannot shake the eerie feeling this accidental encounter is not what it seems.
For Briar may be far away from the pointe shoes and greasepaint of the Sleeping Beauty ballet that is so much a part of her, but her performance for Rosamund might just be her most successful yet.
Advance Praise
'Rich, atmospheric and beautifully written, this is a compelling novel with a twist that you won't see coming! It completely arrested my attention and I couldn't stop reading until I'd devoured every single page. Lucy Ashe is a magnificent storyteller.' Awais Khan, author of No Honour
'This was such a well-written and gripping read and I was completely in awe of how Ashe kept me guessing with the story’s twists. You will not be able to put it down! Highly recommend!' Stacey Thomas, author of The Revels
'Lucy Ashe conjures a world that is at once operatic and utterly believable. Moving between glamorous theatres, mysterious woodlands and opulent parties, The Sleeping Beauties is rich with historical detail and high-stakes drama. Mesmerising.' Alice Robb, author of Don't Think, Dear
