About this ebook
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

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.
