ultra-prestigious Manhattan Ballet Company, nineteen-year-old
Hannah Ward juggles intense rehearsals, dazzling performances and
complicated backstage relationships. Up until now, Hannah has
happily devoted her entire life to ballet. But when she meets a
handsome musician named Jacob, Hannah’s universe begins to change
and she must decide if she wants to compete against the other
‘bunheads’ in the company for a star soloist spot or strike out on
her own in the real world. Does she dare give up the gilded
confines of the ballet for the freedoms of everyday life?
This romantic and compelling story is one of passion, love and
rivalry – you’ll be captivated. Closer Exhilaration and drudgery,
passion and exhaustion, exist side by side for dancers in the
exalted Manhattan Ballet, a world unto itself, which Flack (a
former New York City Ballet dancer) brings vividly to life in this
strong debut. Readers, both dancers and “pedestrians” (the corps’
term for nondancers), will find Hannah’s struggle a gripping read.
Publishers Weekly Starred Review: [The author] brilliantly captures
the arc from soaring ballerina to exhausted dancer collapsing in a
pool of sweat and the crushing disappointment of not becoming a
soloist, forever doomed to dance corps roles. Details have been
changed, but fans of ballet will nonetheless relish the inside
scoop. A multi-layered and absorbing good read by a promising debut
novelist. Kirkus
