Explore the darker side of ballet in Megan Abbott's newest book.
Sisters Dara and Marie Durant, along with Dara’s husband, Charlie, run a ballet studio they inherited after the loss of their parents in a tragic accident. Up until now, the three of them have operated in harmony, each holding their own responsibilities in the family business.
Just before the annual"Nutcracker" performance, when a suspicious accident occurs in the studio, a contractor named Derek enters their lives and threatens the delicate balance under which they operate. As Derek becomes a point of fixation for Marie and convinces the trio to undertake a lofty renovation, questions begin to surface about who he is, what he knows and why he is there.
The book also explores sisterhood and female friendship through the intricate relationship between sisters Dara and Marie. "I don’t have a sister, but I have a lot of friends who have really close, complicated relationships with their sisters and I always was so interested in how you could be with them and later one of them will tell you, 'We were having a fight the whole time,'" said Abbott."As a kid, I loved to stay up late during the summer reading mystery novels with a flashlight," said Jenna.
