Times are tough and, to support her sister, Daisy has to work hard as a dancer in a nightclub, getting home late and hardly seeing Mary-Jane.

What readers are saying about All That Jazz:
'I was in need of escape. I didn't want anything preachy or an author trying to be clever. I just wanted to be entertained, to care for the characters. Dee Williams tells a story in the traditional, old fashioned way. Long may she continue'
'Another well researched and well written novel from Dee. The storyline keeps you interested all the way through to the final page'
'One of the nicest stories I have read. Good ending too and credible characters. Would recommend'
