Description
Padma Venkatraman's A Time to Dance is a powerful and moving novel about finding strength in the face of adversity. Told through verse, this stunning story follows Veda, a young classical dance prodigy who struggles to come to terms with an accident that leaves her without the use of her legs. As she navigates her new reality, Veda finds solace in the world of dance once again, but this time from a different perspective. She begins to take classes with younger dancers and meets Govinda, a young man who approaches dance as a spiritual pursuit. Through their relationship, Veda reconnects with the world around her and discovers a new sense of purpose. This beautifully written novel explores themes of courage, resilience, and the transformative power of art.
