About halfway through this book, I contemplated not finishing it. The pace had slowed and there wasn't a lot happening. The second half picked up and had a lot of twists and turns that I did not anticipate. I liked the ending and I am glad I did not give up on the story. ( ) I watched a few ballet documentaries lately so I thought this book would be perfect for me but this was filled with creepy / inappropriate behavior by all adults and populated by totally unlikeable characters. I will say the author built a strong atmosphere around this family and ballet school but who would want to feel this way? Oh my! Simply put this has been the most torturous book I’ve read all year. It didn’t have a complete plot and I just felt like I was in the twilight zone reading this the entire time. I was hoping for this big revealing ending, but nope nada, it just left me more confused. I enjoy this authors other books but this was a total miss for me. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Growing up, they were homeschooled and trained by their glamorous mother, founder of the Durant School of Dance. After their parents' death in a tragic accident nearly a dozen years ago, the sisters began running the school together, along with Charlie, Dara's husband and once their mother's prized student. Marie, warm and soft, teaches the younger students; Dara, with her precision, trains the older ones; and Charlie, sidelined from dancing after years of injuries, rules over the back office. Circling around one another, the three have perfected a dance, six days a week, that keeps the studio thriving. But when a suspicious accident occurs, just at the onset of the school's annual performance of The Nutcrackerâ??a season of competition, anxiety, and exhilarationâ??an interloper arrives and threatens the sisters' delicate balance. Taut and unnerving, The Turnout is Megan Abbott at the height of her game. With uncanny insight and hypnotic writing, it is a sharp and strange dissection of family ties and sexuality, femininity and power, and a tale that is b Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
