About this listen

Ana Brassfield has her path to the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House all figured out until her first love, renowned German dancer Claus Gert, returns to Georgia to win her back. Despite a promising start toward her ballet career and pending marriage to landscape architect Peter Engberg, Ana wonders if her dreams of dancing at the Met are as impossible as her previous romantic relationship with Claus. Then an on-stage kiss between Ana and Claus changes everything.

Convinced the kiss is more than a one-time mistake, Peter breaks off their engagement. With an old dog crippled by arthritis and dreams deferred but not left behind, Ana moves to Germany to be with Claus. But the ghost of his late wife, Ana's own feelings for Peter, and the pressure of earning a spot in a large ballet company are a high price for a shot at success. Ana seems on the verge of having everything she ever dreamed of, but will it be enough?

Hmmmm... I am reviewing this after only having listened to the beginning, but am doing so, because I won’t be continuing to listen.

To be fair, the description does mention the Christian theme. However, it seems as if ballet is being used as a tool to communicate a religious point of view. I am interested in ballet so had hoped for a novel that explored the life of a dancer. This novel uses ballet as pastiche. The ballet terms are continually explained in a way that sounds like a dictionary definition rather than something that the reader can feel in the body, because the description makes the dance come alive.

Since I am abandoning it, I cannot discuss plot, but characterization is definitely flat and shallow. And really ... Mrs. B?! A fictional, female version if Mr. B = Balanchine.

The narrator isn’t my cup of tea either. Frankly, it sounds like an automated voice and not like an actor reading aloud.

Perhaps, I am simply not the target listener ...
