Reseña del libro "No Intermission (en Inglés)"
A passionate story of ambition versus the universal desire to be loved, A young aspiring ballerina from a sleepy town in the Pacific Northwest and an elegant dance master with a secret past, come together in post-WWII Europe. This well-researched historical fiction takes the reader backstage, hanging out with the Rolling Stones, and other celebrities of the '60s and to Cairo sitting next to the King of Jordan, the President of Egypt, and heads of state from the Arab world to Palm Beach Casino, Cannes on the French Rivera. Smuggling of Nazi-looted art masterpieces by Degas, Picasso, Pissarro, Van Gogh, seems to follow the multi-racial dance troupe everywhere they perform. Margaret Alice Dinsdale from North Oyster on Vancouver Island learns the truth of wartime devastation in Europe, anti-Semitism, unimaginable poverty, smuggling, and the not-so-glamourous life of a professional dancer. Funny, articulate, and partly based on a true story.
