BOOK: CIRCLE DANCE
By: Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine
Set in Baltimore, Annapolis and on the island of Ikaria, Circle Dance gives the reader a view into the lives of a dynamic family which has successfully achieved the American dream without abandoning the customs and traditions of their Greek heritage. Artfully intertwined plots bring generations together in a dance of rejoicing and mourning, loss and healing. Published in June 2004, Circle Dance has been chosen by Borders Books as a December Book Club selection.
