Blog Blast: Poles Apart, Anna & Jacqui Burns

I am delighted to be sharing my thoughts on this fun read, thanks to Allison & Busby for the chance.



Twirling around the plot:

The Pembrokeshire village of Morlan is a beautiful place to live, but breath taking views of the Welsh coastline aside, four of the female residents find themselves stuck in a painful rut.


The arrival of pole dancing exercise classes in the village hall offers each of them a chance to bond and discover previously hidden strengths. Gwen seems to have it all but how will she cope when her marriage hits the rocks? Meg would love not to be single, but her recent operation has left her confidence shot to pieces. Recently widowed Ivy is fed up with following the rules, but at seventy-two can she really change her ways? Mum of two Summer is desperate for some time to herself outside her home.


Together the group form a bond of friendship that will stand them in good stead when facing the trials and tribulations in their personal lives.


Bobs and Books honest review:


This book is an absolute tonic. Highly amusing, heart warming, and dare I say it, makes you want to take up pole dancing!


I love that this is in a little village in Wales. Hooray for a Welsh setting in books. This centres around 4 main woman all at different stages of life, with their own challenges and in some cases secrets.


This is funny, sentimental and shows how a sense of community can support you with anything.


Great escapism, and I'm seriously hoping Feather turns up to a village hall near me soon.


Out now.
