Her revelations about family, talent, and what makes us special create a thought-provoking and entertaining read.” - Publishers Weekly Kate is an ideal guide to an unfamiliar world, from her irreverent explanations of her ballets (Howrey was a professional dancer) to her relatable self-doubt and honesty. “Howrey’s engaging new novel exposes the competitive world of professional ballet through Kate Crane, a charmingly sarcastic ballerina at a crossroads.
I love this novel!” -Amanda Boyden, author of Pretty Little Dirty Finding out who’s behind that stage curtain, really behind the curtain, makes for utterly engaging reading. It’s fresh and often hilarious, sharp and adroit.
“ The Cranes Dance holds the door open to the candy store-the sacrosanct world of ballet-and I couldn’t be happier for the privilege. “An engrossing novel about the cutthroat world of New York City ballet, without the hallucinations…The Cranes Dance is an addictive, absorbing take on competition and sisterhood.” Funny, dark, intimate, and unflinchingly honest, The Cranes Dance is a book that pulls back the curtains to reveal the private lives of dancers and explores the complicated bond between sisters. As we follow her on an insider tour of rehearsals, performances, and partners onstage and off, she confronts the tangle of love, jealousy, pride, and obsession that are beginning to fracture her own sanity. Alone for the first time in her life, Kate is anxious and full of guilt about the role she may have played in her sister’s collapse.
