Description

The Wonder by Diana Evans A family mystery unfolds in this haunting novel about absence and inheritance. When Lucas discovers relics from his father's influential black dance company, he sets out to unravel the legacy of the Midnight Ballet. His search takes him to hot-house rehearsals in an abandoned church, artistic battles, and personal betrayals, as well as a whirlwind European tour. As Lucas delves deeper into his family's past, he learns about his parents' passionate relationship and the events that led to his father's final disappearance. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1950s Kingston, Jamaica, and modern-day London, this is a story about love, creativity, and what drives a young man to take flight. With vivid prose, Diana Evans conjures a world of beauty and turmoil, where the past and present collide in unexpected ways.
