The Light a Candle Society

Warm, compassionate, witty and thought provoking, The Light a Candle Society is Ruth Hogan at her very best. -- Mike Gayle, author of THE SONG OF YOU AND ME Moving, uplifting and thought-provoking in equal parts. George is determined that nobody should leave this life without a fitting celebration. As he builds his team with this end in mind, lives are changed, bonds are forged and something joyful emerges from the sadness. Life-affirming and full of love, this book is one to treasure. I adored it! -- Celia Anderson, bestselling author of 59 MEMORY LANE A lovely, lovely novel, full of humanity, humour and kindness. I loved it! -- Elizabeth Buchan, author of TWO WOMEN IN ROME I LOVED the latest novel from Ruth Hogan. It's bursting with her signature warmth and heart but this time tackles taboos and issues that aren't spoken about with compassion and hope. Nobody does it quite like Ruth Hogan. If you're looking to be uplifted and to feel better about the world, this is the book for you! -- Matt Cain, author of THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE Written with Ruth Hogan's trademark humour and generosity of spirit, The Light a Candle Society shines warm with life. An uplifting celebration of the joy of small things, and the big - kindness, community and love. -- Kate Lord Brown, author of THE GOLDEN HOUR The ballroom is a magical place, and Ruth Hogan's love and warmth for all the things within it shine brightly in the pages of this wonderful story. She has created such an uplifting world, and the Phoenix Ballroom feels like an old friend of mine -- Anton du Beke on THE PHOENIX BALLROOM A rich and joyful story told with wit and heart. And the most glamorously-named protagonist ever. Look out for this sweeping waltz of a novel. -- Beth Morrey on THE PHOENIX BALLROOM Delightfully uplifting * Women's Own on THE PHOENIX BALLROOM * Full of hope * Prima on THE PHOENIX BALLROOM *
