Sex and Stravinsky - Barbara Trapido

The time is 1995, but everybody has a past. Brilliant australian caroline can command everyone except her own ghoulish mother, which means that things arent easy for josh and zoe, her husband with stravinsky-glasses and twelve-year-old daughter. Zoe reads girls ballet books and longs for lessons; a thing denied her until a chance encounter on a school french exchange. Meanwhile, on the east coast of africa, hattie, joshs first love, now writes girlsballet books - thats when she can carve out the space between her husband and her crosspatch daughter. From far and wide, they are all drawn together: a masquerade in which things are not always what they seem.
