The Ballerinas
by Rachel Kapelke-Dale
Ballet has never really interested me so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed The Ballerinas by Rachel Kapelke-Dale. This is the story of three ballerina friends who have grown up at the Paris Ballet. Delphine is now a choreographer who has returned from St. Petersburg and is directing the new ballet, Tsarina. The three have secrets in their past and unfinished business.
They also have ambitions that threaten their relationships. Mixed in are their spouses, and other partners. This story also has an element of the #metoo movement that’s depicts how male dancers are treated compared to female dancers.
I liked this story. The ballet aspects were not my favorite but I liked the girls relationships, and I liked how they struggled to find a way forward in their friendship.
Thank you to #netgalley and #stmartinspress for the advanced e-copy of #theballerinas.
