'a top notch saga' WOMAN AND HOME 'Expressive writing, the ability to create strong characters and a clever story construction keeps you enthralled from start to finish. A wonderful, spellbinding novel' BRADFORD TELEGRAPH & ARGUS


Product Description

Considered the leading ballerina of her day, Hester Fielding's life is the stuff of drama: a bleak childhood transformed by the discovery of her amazing gifts as a dancer, a dangerous love affair that can only lead to heartbreak, and a secret that would topple her from her pinnacle of fame if it ever came out. Now Hester has returned home, where each Christmas season sees a ballet performed in the little theater on Twelfth Night. Just before the company arrives this year, however, Hester receives a phone call that brings back haunting memories. As the dancers prepare for the opening night of Sarabande, loyalties shift, tempers flare, and the past comes crashing into the present in ways that Hester could never have imagined.

3.0 out of 5 stars Swan Lake or Swan Song, April 9 2006
This story follows the main character through two periods in her life. In the 50's we meet Hester as an ill treated and much ignored child who finds solace and excellence in the world of ballet. In the 1980's we meet again as she hosts a company of dancers at the estate where she spent much of her childhood under the guidance of the grand Madame Olga. The story though not badly written never lets us into the inner workings of Hester enough to truly care about her. Halfway through the book it became so predictable that I sort of boureed my way to the end. Not a bad read but not the kind that sticks with you or invites you back to visit.
