Too Beautiful To Dance

Sara de Lall is history. Yesterday's woman. Her husband, the successful, still handsome Matt de Lall has moved on, seamlessly, to pastures new with a bright young girlfriend to match his glittering career. So what's Sara to do? Creep away, lick her wounds, tend her garden and bemoan the loss of both her youth and her husband? Hardly. Sara, you see, is made of sterner stuff. To the amazement of her two grown-up daughters, she up sticks and leaves the landscape of London. Taking a surprised urban dog and the minimum of baggage, she buys a run-down cottage by the sea. But she isn't there to moulder away, far from it. Sara is starting a business. She is flexing her wings, and rediscovering a woman who doesn;t need a man or a position in society to confirm her identity. Alone, she finds she can soar. Her children don't like it. Matt certainly doesn't like it. They want the old Sara back. But does Sara want to go? Rick, a gorgeous young man who has just dropped out of university and is passing the summer working in a seaside cafe and indulging his passion for surfing, is intrigued by this passionate, intelligent, articulate and artistic woman who begins each day with a creamy latte under the brightly-coloured umbrella outside the cafe, gazing out to sea. She might go back. Maybe. Or perhaps the future lies in a quite different direction altogether...
