House of Dance by Beth Kephart
3.0
Rosie's grandfather has cancer, and as she finds out about his life, she decides to revive his memories through dance. The character of Rosie is an interesting one. She is fifteen years old, and he voice in this story is entrancing and captivating. She is determined and headstrong and she seems much older than what she is.
Beth Kephart's writing is amazing, and so poetic. There were a lot of memorable sentences in this novel, and you can tell she's been personally affected by loss, as stated in her acknowledgements.
Personally, I found it hard to relate, because I've never had to deal with the loss of a close family member. I sympathised with the characters and I understood Rosie's actions, and it was a deeply touching story about loss and family.
