English Summary/英文概要： Mma has just buried her mother, and now she is alone. She has been left everything. But she’s also inherited her mother’s bad name.A bold, brash woman, the only thing her mother refused to discuss was her past. Why did she flee her family and bring her daughter to a new town when she was a baby? What was she escaping from?
Abandoned now, Mma has no knowledge of her father or her family - but she is desperate to find out.
Night Dancer is a powerful and moving novel about the relationship between mothers and daughters, about the bonds of family, about knowing when to fulfill your duty, and when you must be brave enough not to.
