Twenty-seven-year-old Frieda Zweig is at an impasse. Behind her is a string of failed relationships and half-forgotten ambitions of being a painter; in front of her lies the dreary task of finding a real job and figuring out what "normal" people do with their lives. Then, a classified ad in the local paper introduces Frieda to Gladys, an elderly woman who long ago gave up on her dreams of being a dancer. The catch? Gladys is a ghost. In Dance, Gladys, Dance, Cassie Stocks tells the uplifting story of a woman whose uncanny connection with a kindred spirit causes her to see her life in a new way-as anything but ordinary.
"Dance, Gladys, Dance is a lovely demonstration of the importance of creating, whether it's art, friends or food. Connection-reaching out to others-is the ultimate value of this charming and thoughtful novel."
The Globe and Mail
"[A]n entertaining blend of humour and pathos, friends and families, the living and the dead."
Anjana Balakrishnan, Herizons Magazine
