A Midnight Dance

Listed in the Dance category on Art In Fiction, A Midnight Dance  (2021) is a Victorian historical romance novel by Joanna Davidson Politano. All theater romances are tragedies. Ella Blythe knows this. Still, she cannot help but hope her own story may turn out different than most--and certainly different than the tragic story of the Ghost of Craven Street Theater. Yet as she struggles to maintain her tenuous place in the ever-shrinking ballet company, win the attentions of principal dancer Philippe, and avoid company flirt Jack, Ella cannot deny the uncanny feeling that her life is mirroring that of the dead ballerina.   Is she dancing ever closer to the edge of her own tragic end? Or will the secrets that are about to come to light offer release from the past? "Politano writes beautifully, evoking the magic of ballet and the theater from the opening turns to the final curtain, leaving readers applauding for an encore."-- Booklist  starred review Joanna Davidson Politano is the award-winning author of Lady Jayne Disappears, A Rumored Fortune, Finding Lady Enderly , and The Love Note . She loves tales that capture the colorful, exquisite details in ordinary lives and is eager to hear anyone's story. She lives with her husband and their two kids in a house in the woods near Lake Michigan. Buy Now from Amazon Buy Now from Bookshop
