Judy (wwwgoodreadscomprofilejudyg) I'd like to nominate The Forgotten Waltz The Forgotten Waltz by Anne Enright by Anne Enright, which was shortlisted in 2012. I just started reading the beginning at Amazon, which made me want to read the whole book right away - but I'll control myself as I have several others on the go!

Here's the Goodreads blurb:

"The Forgotten Waltz is a memory of desire: a recollection of the bewildering speed of attraction, the irreparable slip into longing, that reads with breathtaking immediacy. In Terenure, a pleasant suburb of Dublin, in the winter of 2009, it has snowed. A woman recalls the trail of lust and happenstance that brought her to fall for "the love of her life." As the city outside comes to a halt, she remembers the days of their affair in one hotel room or another: long afternoons made blank by bliss and denial. Now, as the silent streets and the stillness and vertigo of the falling snow make the day luminous and full of possibility, she awaits the arrival on her doorstep of his fragile, twelve-year-old daughter, Evie. In The Forgotten Waltz, Enright is at the height of her powers. This is Anne Enright's tour de force, a novel of intelligence, passion, and real distinction."
