The time is 1995, but everybody has a past.

Brilliant Australian Caroline can command everyone except her own ghoulish mother, which means that things aren''t easy for Josh and Zoe, her husband with Stravinsky-glasses and twelve-year-old daughter. Zoe reads girls'' ballet books and longs for lessons; a thing denied her until a chance encounter on a school French exchange.

Meanwhile, on the east coast of Africa, Hattie, Josh''s first love, now writes girls'' ballet books - that''s when she can carve out the space between her husband and her crosspatch daughter. From far and wide, they are all drawn together: a masquerade in which things are not always what they seem.
