The Master's Muse

"Choreographer George Balanchine s fifth wife, ballerina Tanaquil Le Clercq, never wrote about her relationship with her husband, but if she had we can only hope it would be as graceful and penetrating as what O Connor portrays in ["The Master's Muse"]. This passionate novel not only gives a glimpse into the ballet world of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, its eccentric characters bring the story to life." "--Publishers Weekly"
