Customer Reviews

A Time to Dance is an incredible book

This book would be a fantastic choice for people who struggle with poetry or are just stepping into the genre. It's easy to understand and reads very prose-like. It's emotional and engaging and the characters are so beautifully written. Not only is it a beautiful story, but it's been reviewed by amputees who praise the representation. Veda's story is incredibly well-written, and my new favorite novel in verse.
