Dropping the Mask
Author(s): Juliet Jackson
This is a story of betrayal and confusion, of dreams and aspirations, offriendships and abuse. Tantalising, mysterious and fragile, this debut novel carries the reader without missing a step, from the beginning to the curtain call at the end.
The novel follows Lily Walsh, a dancer who returns to Auckland at the end of her international ballet career and finds herself thrown back into her painful past, visiting her childhood and the memories of the people who surrounded her at the time.
