The Dragonfly Dance

A coming-of-age story full of love, growth, and internal conflicts from the frenetic and innocent perspective of a young seventeen-year-old girl

Elinor is angry. Pain and fury have ruled her life for far too long. So much so that after losing her mother and her father, she has also lost herself and she no longer knows who she is. At only seventeen years old life has repeatedly and mercilessly knocked her down, leaving her cynical and vengeful. However, though she might not yet realise it, Elinor is much more than pain and bitterness.

After a toxic relationship, Elinor meets Sasha, a kind and handsome boy who comes into her life to completely turn it upside down. Little by little, Sasha manages to break down the defensive walls that Elinor has built up around her heart and makes her want to recover her two passions –dancing and drawing – as she learns to love herself.
