A magnetic tale of betrayal, art, and ambition, set in the world of professional ballet, New York City during the AIDS crisis, and present-day Los Angeles. With psychological precision and a masterfully revealed secret at its heart, it asks what it takes to be an artist, and the price of forgiveness, of ambition, and of love.
Howrey deftly jumps through decades and lives to write a taut, moving evocation of the love and hurt contained within families and the difficulty of forgiveness. Mail on Sunday
"Howrey's prose invites readers to feel the emotion of each dance, beautifully translating physical and visual art onto the page. [Her] incisive character studies create a heart-wrenching story of love and loss."
