It’s September 1940 and with bombs raining down every night, the staff do a magnificent job of keeping the guests happy, even if it’s down in the bunkers. It took me a chapter or three to settle into this novel, there are a lot of characters to familiarise yourself with. But if you've read the previous books you won't have that settling in feeling. And I’m sure you’ll forgive me the plug, but I’m also so thrilled that Erin and I will be returning to theatres nationwide early next year with our new Tour for 2021 – Showtime! Full details and booking links can be found here at antonanderinlive.co.uk– plus, dates are now set for a fabulous range of dance breaks next year too – see here for all the listings. Ask me anything you like!… I’ll be talking about my life, my career – the inner Anton – and I shall be doing it all with dance and with song. So my loves, put on your thinking caps and come up with some wonderful questions for me to answer – it’ll be like #AskAnton from our zoom sessions… but live on stage!
This was my first introduction to Anton Du Beke’s writing, having normally been accustomed to watching him on my television screen during the Autumn months dancing and judging away, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Surprised not only by the rich storytelling but by the way Du Beke’s charming writing is filled with glorious characters who you can’t help but feel emotion for. His wife Nancy is concerned & would like him to be at home in the evenings & in the fallout shelter with her. Rather than her be alone,worry about him & get little sleep. But he won't hear of it. Raymond De Guise is home on leave from Dunkirk and is so busy helping out elsewhere, he’s not striking the right balance with his wife, Nancy. Safety always comes first, and Erin and I have been in discussions with our tour organiser Raymond Gubbay: we are in agreement that we should, very sadly, postpone our 2021 ‘Showtime’ tour until 2022.
‘We’ll Meet Again’
Each book can be read as a standalone story, but they do indeed form a series, set in those tumultuous years leading up to the outbreak of World War II.
Well, my loves, I shall look forward to seeing you each weekend over the coming months, but in the meantime, keeeeep reading – ‘ We’ll Meet Again’ will soon be released, and I’d love to know what you think! I do hope the author doesn’t stop at this book and writes more in this series as they are such good stories. Secrets, announcements, revelations and celebrations come to the fore in these next chapters of their lives – with the spectre of war growing ever closer. Huge apologies – I’m so sorry to be the bearer of such news, I know we’ve all been looking forward to the tour so much! Erin and I have recorded a special message for you in the video above – do please play it.
I love the author’s style of writing, I felt as though I was there in the ballroom, watching the dancing and at the other end of the scale, I could feel the fear of the unstable place that England was and the trepidation of the characters with the regular bombings.
Great Deal
