Poles Apart — Anna Burns

Four women, one sleepy village ... It's time to give life a whirl.

The Welsh village of Morlan is a beautiful place to live, but four of its female residents are searching for more. Gwen appears to have it all but her marriage is on the rocks. Meg struggles with her health and her love life has barely got a pulse. Recently widowed Ivy wonders whether she can revamp more than just her home. Summer dearly loves her young children but is desperate to broaden her horizons beyond her sleep-deprived fog.

The announcement that pole dancing exercise classes are coming to the village hall brings the disparate group together and a bond is formed that will help them with the trials and tribulations that lie ahead.
