It¿s Daddy,¿ Kitty cried from three thousand miles away. ¿Mother shot him. The police have taken her away. Come now, Daphne. We need you.¿ On the eve of their ruby wedding anniversary, the Seagraves appear to be the ideal couple, still deeply in love and the envy of their friends in the seaside town of Miramonte, California ¿ until the night Lydia Seagrave picks up a gun and shoots her husband. In order to bring to light the ugly truth that could save Lydia, arrested for the murder of her husband, the three grown-up Seagrave daughters must first untangle their own lives. Novelist Daphne is torn between family loyalty and her feelings for the only man she has ever loved ¿ the DA who is prosecuting her mother. Kitty¿s passionate affair with a much younger man is complicated by her fervent hope that his pregnant sister will choose her to adopt the child she so desperately wants. While Alex, the youngest sister, is determined to defend her father¿s reputation ¿ at whatever cost. Forced to confront their pasts, Daphne, Kitty and Alex realise that the shocking secret buried in their apparently happy childhoods holds the key to the present tragedy. In One Last Dance, Eileen Goudge has concocted a haunting and compulsive novel of tortuous family conflicts and shattered love reclaimed that grips beyond the last page.
