Critic reviews

After the Last Dance is an extraordinary story of two women, separated by time but connected by fate, that will make you believe in the redemptive power of unexpected love.
"Sarra Manning pulls you straight in with another fantastically addictive, beautifully written read." PAIGE TOON on It Felt Like a Kiss

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would have given it a five star rating were it not for a couple graphic sex scenes which to me were wholly gratuitous and not really needed. I’m not a prude but couldn’t really see the point of them. Don’t let that put you off though as the story is well worth it.

Truly the best audiobook that I've listened to. It's touched me on so many levels, I loved every word.

Perfection

I really enjoyed this book and loved it once the two stories entwined. It is well constructed and beautifully read. I learnt much about WW2 London.

Fabulous Historical Novel

I was pleasantly surprise that I really enjoyed this book. The portrayal of the 2nd World war in London was very well written, as were the characters.

I rather like a WW2 novel, and have read a few. This is splendid piece of writing and weaves two stories together present day and the war years.

Jane the bride who walks into the bar, who is not quite what she seems. However she unfolds slowly and lays herself bare.
Rose is the young child/woman arriving in London during the war because she does not want to be a landgirl. The book goes back and forth in time, however you never feel lost or confused in the grand scheme .

Imogen church beautifully narrates and her male and female voices as well as accents are faultless.

I would thoroughly recommend this book.
