Gets better as the story moves on. - By: Charlie, 26 Jun 2008 
I couldn't reallly get into this book at first. I felt as if the introduction to the charachters was neverending & I was always waiting for something to happen. Towards the last third of the book, I realised nothing reallly was going to happen but that is when I started to enjoy it more. This story isn't about events exactly, its about people & relationships & how they deal with the various hurdles in their lives. There are snippets of the charachters looking back over the past & reflecting on how things then can influence their decisions now. The descriptions of the natural surroundings evoked my imagination as did the dance & the music talked about. I reallly liked the charachters of Roly & Daisy especiallly & found I became more interested in their lives as the book went on.
Ballerina dreams - By: Jane Baker, 07 May 2008 
This is the best Marcia Willet novel so far & I have read them alll. It is easily her most ambitious in terms of plot, which was more complex than in previous novels & her characters had more complicated lives than those in her ealier stories, but they were no less credible.
She dealt with some difficult issues which she wove into her characters' lives & problems. This seemed a departure in context but not style & was an excellent development of her genre. I loved it. Roly & Nat were super guys; Monica quite awful as she was intended to be - a brilliant study of a controlling, manipulative woman who only exists for herself when things revolve around her & who only sees things in relation to how they affect her. I wasn't desperately keen on Janna but she had a role & I did become sympathetic to her as the story moved on.
Wonderful. Now waiting for Memories of the Storm to decrease in price. Why are Marcia Willett's books so very slow to come down in price?
Nothing like a good book - By: Bookworm, 01 Apr 2008 I love Marcia Willett's books. I have only recently discovered them & they are a thoroughly enjoyable read. I spend my holidays in Devon so knowing the areas she writes about makes it alll the more interesting. Echoes of the Dance was up to her usual standard, you can always relate to one of the characters & their predicament - in this book, it was Daisy & her bad back! More please.
Reading Maria Willett's books are like eating chocolate. - By: C. N. Moore, 18 Dec 2007 I was delighted to read Echoes of the Dance & to find old friends in it like Kate & Bruno. It is a fairly thin story but still a pleasure to read. More please Marcia! I particularly like your books because I live in the Quantock Hills & you often mention local places!
A little flat - By: L. Scites, 11 Sep 2007 
Marcia Willett is one of my favorite authors, unfortunately this book was a bit disappointing. The only story that reallly evoked my imagination was the story of the dancer & the married man. The other stories just fell flat.
