A Time to Dance charts the obsessive and sensual consequences of a relationship between a man of 54 and a girl of 18. The gap in their backgrounds, in their expectations, and in their experience, is as wide as that between their ages. His over-controlled world collapses; her quest for healing and forgetting a trauma in her past leads her to reckless daring.
The story builds to a compelling study of the violence, exhilaration and uncompromising nature of love which is sexual, tender and utterly demanding.
