The Green Table

When Hedda Brandt and other members of Kurt Jooss’s dance company flee Germany in 1933, Hedda imagines she is going to a place free from the prejudice, but these are dangerous times and as Nazi Occupation changes all their lives. Hedda is drawn towards resistance, but with her life more and more at risk, matters are only complicated by the prospect of love. A gripping debut novel that takes real characters as its starting point. Poignant, sometimes harrowing, and exquisitely written.
