The brand new uplifting novel from the author of the two-million copy bestseller The Keeper of Lost Things.

Magical ... uplifting ... the Phoenix Ballroom feels like an old friend – Anton Du Beke

A rich and joyful story, told with wit and heart – Beth Morrey

Every page is a joy – Pip Williams

It's never too late to spread your wings...

Recently widowed Venetia Hamilton Hargreaves is left with a huge house, a bank balance to match, and an uneasy feeling that she's been sleepwalking through the last fifty years.

Buying the dilapidated Phoenix Ballroom and with it a community drop-in centre could be seen as reckless, but Venetia's generosity, courage, and kindness provide a refuge for an array of damaged and lonely people.

As their stories intertwine, long-buried secrets are revealed, missed opportunities seized, and lives renewed – the Phoenix lives up to its name.

Will enthral and delight everyone who reads it – Mike Gayle

Packed with Ruth Hogan's trademark warmth – Matt Cain

About the Author

Ruth Hogan studied English and Drama at Goldsmiths College and went on to work in local government. A car accident and a subsequent run-in with cancer convinced her finally to get her act together and pursue her dream of becoming a writer. The result was her debut novel - The Keeper of Lost Things, which went on be a global bestseller. She is now living the dream (and occasional nightmare) as a full-time author, along with her husband and rescue dogs in a rambling Victorian house stuffed with treasure that inspires her novels.Insta: @ruthmariehoganauthor
