Dancing with Statues is a sweet story with a punch. Two different people on different paths, but with a common thread between them. Miguel lost his mother when he was young, as did Laura. But while Miguel's mother died from illness, Laura's took her own life.
Now, years later, Miguel is investigating the bomb that took Laura's mother's life. He's only visiting for a short six months before he must return to his homeland. So when he first admires Laura and approaches her, she doesn't look any deeper into it. She doesn't have time for a relationship since she takes care of her father. But Miguel is persistent and before long, they find themselves falling in love. But then Miguel starts asking some hard questions about Laura's past, her mother's death. Laura will have to face her past if she hopes to have a future with Miguel, but sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow.
An engrossing read, Dancing with Statues is easy to read and become immersed in the lives of Laura and Miguel. I love the cover, but it's the writing within that held me riveted for hours. I became invested in their story and wasn't sure how everything would turn out. I won't ruin it for you but I'd recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys stellar contemporary fiction!
