I found this book very hard to put down.   I was so emotionally involved in Jack’s life.     And I needed to know what had happened in the past and what was going to happen.   I didn’t think it would end in the way it did – took me by surprise.    Maybe I wasn’t facing reality.   Very cleverly done.

I  thought Jack had an idyllic life with his boat,  Ali and the pub .  But there was no real safety anywhere which made the book so gripping.   And I loved all the descriptions of Essex flatlands and the one of a London Street on p. 166.

David Brewerton's second novel is an excellent read with a well constructed story of two boyhood friends who grew up in East London in the post war years. The narrative moves smoothly between the boys' early years and the present day in which Jack, the main protagonist, is a 70-something man witha love of boats iving on the coast of East Anglia, an area and subject Brewerton clearly knows well. Dancing to Domino holds the reader's interest from first to last.
