Summary

Sadler's Wells, 1933. Disciplined and dedicated, Olivia is the perfect ballerina. But no matter how hard she works, she can never match identical twin Clara's charm. As rehearsals intensify for the ballet Coppélia, the girls feel increasingly like they are being watched. And, as infatuation turns to obsession, everything begins to unravel.

Piffle

Interesting reading about Sadlers wells in the thirties but the actual story is ridiculous.

Characters move about in deeply unlikely ways that become increasingly daft. The plotting is leaden and the denouement far fetched in the extreme

Bad as it is it’s also at least a four hours too long. Note to self - don’t read anything else by this author no matter how interesting the premis. Avoid

Historical ballet fiction

I thought I would enjoy this more since I love ballet but the story left me wanting by the end.
