🐸2/$10🐸Thriller. The Turnout by Megan Abbott

Megan Abbott’s take on the world of ballet is anything but sugar coated. Instead, prepare yourself for a story told with such dark intensity that you feel as if you’re reading it under the covers by sputtering torchlight. A sense of brooding menace and cloying claustrophobia exudes from the pages. There’s nothing cosy about this one. Sisters Dara and Marie Durant have been dancers since they could walk, trained by their glamorous mother who founded the Durant School of Dance in an unnamed small town in the US. When their parents died in a road accident, the sisters took over the running of the school, helped by Charlie, who is Dara’s husband and was once the school’s most prized pupil until injury put paid to his ballet career. ***New to Poshmark? use the referral MYBOOKNOOK at signup and receive $15 towards your first purchase.
