The Ballerinas
by Rachel Kapelke-Dale
Delphine, Margeaux and Lindsay are three ballerinas in the Paris Opera Ballet. Through Delphine, we get a glimpse into the pretty and not so pretty of what happens within the ballet world. This story is exquisitely detailed as the drama unfolds through dual timelines. The details do lead to the story being a bit slow moving, at least for me. The dual timeline was a little bit choppy for me as well and I found myself flipping back pages to see what time I was in. I did enjoy the scenery and the glimpses into the ballet world as the dance world is always one that fascinates me as an outsider to dance. I enjoyed the plot line of feminism as well. There are mentions of self harm, sexual assault, bullying, cancer, infertility, abortion and attempted murder.
