Reviews
Praise for The Ballerinas : One of the "Biggest Mysteries and Thrillers for the Rest of 2021" --Goodreads "You'll never look at ballet the same." --Book Riot "Forever shaped by their friendship and the most grueling artform in the world, three friends navigate love, secrets, ambition and the pursuit of artistic perfection within the hallowed walls of the world's most prestigious ballet school and company. Engrossing, deft and insightful, I loved THE BALLERINAS -- from its provocative opening pages, to its blistering climax, to its exactly right final scenes." --Cathy Marie Buchanan, New York Times bestselling author of The Painted Girls and Daughter of Black Lake "Wonderfully atmospheric, THE BALLERINAS is a twirling dream of a story exploring the sacrifices and pain of creation, the shrinking of women and the pressure of always being on show." --Araminta Hall, author of Our Kind of Cruelty "A dark and searing exploration of bodily autonomy, friendship, memory and loss set in the gritty, bloody world of elite ballet. I was hooked from the first line of this shimmering debut." --Ella Berman, author of The Comeback "There is a moment in THE BALLERINAS when Rachel Kapelke-Dale describes ballet as a place where women "both reign and serve." If you are anticipating competition and sabotage here, you won't be wrong--but to distill this novel to its rivalries is to do it a great injustice. THE BALLERINAS is an incisive examination of a place and institution that both depends upon and diminishes women; Kapelke-Dale has crafted a sharp exploration of bodies, art, and agency that left me wondering what it means to be an audience member, and what it means to be seen." --Emily Layden, author of All Girls "Kapelke-Dale's debut comes roaring out of the wings with all the grace and strength of a prima ballerina. Deftly constructed and crackling with tension, THE BALLERINAS is a stunner of a novel, with electric prose and careful observations on loyalty, ambition, power, and rage within the crucible of intense female friendships. I tore through this unforgettable thriller--and I'll never look at professional dance the same way again." --Andrea Bartz, author of The Herd "Rachel Kapelke-Dale's THE BALLERINAS is an engrossing, smart, and page-turning novel about sacrifice in the name of art. The characters at the heart of THE BALLERINAS hold their loyalty to loved ones up against their loyalty for ballet, measuring how much of themselves and their bodies they are willing to offer. Kapelke-Dale's writing confronts questions of aging, violence, and friendship to confront ballet's allure and brutality. The result is a novel filled with grace and strength." --Ellen O'Connell Whittet, author of What You Become in Flight "Hypnotic, electrifying, and propulsive, THE BALLERINAS is a completely unmissable debut. Its extraordinary power comes not only from the gorgeous writing and searing social commentary, but how it portrays women's relationships with our bodies, our ambition, and our collective desires. Kapelke-Dale is a phenomenal talent, and this novel is imbued with all the grace, elegance, and fierceness that dancers embody." --Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, bestselling author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here, One of the "Biggest Mysteries and Thrillers for the Rest of 2021" -- Goodreads "The ways in which women torture their bodies in pursuit of creative dreams make for enthralling fictional drama. This terrain proves irresistible in The Ballerinas , a debut novel set in the hothouse atmosphere of the Paris Opera Ballet academy as three students grow up, compete, forge friendships and embark on a trail of destruction...Kapelke-Dale has thought through the larger picture, and examined how trauma and asymmetries of power derail so many dancers." --The New York Times "A standing ovation to this debut." --E! News "This highly readable, dramatic look behind the curtains is an unqualified success." --Booklist "A well-crafted thriller for fans of Megan Abbott's." --Publishers Weekly "Deliciously observed emotional tangles" --Library Journal "You'll never look at ballet the same." --Book Riot "Deftly uses the professional dance setting to explore the complexities of female friendships and the lingering impacts of ballet's patriarchal culture as it hurtles toward the bloody conclusion promised on the first pages." --Dance Magazine "Engrossing, deft and insightful, I loved The Ballerinas --from its provocative opening pages, to its blistering climax, to its exactly right final scenes." --Cathy Marie Buchanan, New York Times bestselling author of The Painted Girls "Deftly constructed and crackling with tension, The Ballerinas is a stunner of a novel, with electric prose and careful observations on loyalty, ambition, power, and rage within the crucible of intense female friendships. I tore through this unforgettable thriller." --Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here "Wonderfully atmospheric, The Ballerinas is a twirling dream of a story." --Araminta Hall, author of Our Kind of Cruelty, One of the "Biggest Mysteries and Thrillers for the Rest of 2021" -- Goodreads "The ways in which women torture their bodies in pursuit of creative dreams make for enthralling fictional drama.
