From as long as she can remember she has been obsessed by ballet and is in love with its superstar, Rudolf Nureyev. Her devotion is the one thing people remember about her, because otherwise, she is small, quiet and quite unremarkable. Dinah is anonymous and so she is just the woman for Pavel - the exuberant Soviet official with a taste for silk ties and the arts, who finds himself working as an unlikely double agent in 1970s Australia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Glass Carpet weaves recognisable tales of love and family through the real life politics and prejudices that conspire to jeopardise ordinary people's hopes and dreams. Dinah's saga moves from Ireland, to Australia, the USSR and France and is punctuated by encounters with her dancing hero which seem to have magical effects on her life and the lives of those around her. Funny, tragic and moving, The Glass Carpet ultimately reveals that everyone is remarkable, whether they realise it or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 14, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377117651251,"sku":"9781764398664","price":32.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/pp1uEs07_z9781764398664.webp?v=1779314922","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-glass-carpet-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
