After twenty-five years of dealing blackjack in Las Vegas, Polly Brilliant throws the cards in the air, sells everything she owns and makes a beeline to the Greek island of Kythira to paint, write, and forget about men. Or so she thinks. Instead of escaping from life's complications, Polly is met with uninvited apparitions of ex-lovers and husbands who propel her back in time to re-examine their madcap relationships. Are these specters seeking reevaluation or retirement? Polly's Wild Dance is the story of a middle-aged Jewish woman's adventures in rebellion, self-discovery, and ultimately, reinvention.
