Cantique

De: Joanna Marsh

Narrado por: Aubry Dyakon

After discovering sheet music from a long-lost production of Song of Solomon,novice dancer Colette Larsen is thrust into the elite world of professional ballet. Sparks fly when she meets James Brennan, the fun-loving soloist tasked with choreographing a new pas de deux to the music, but Colette must watch from the sidelines as he rehearses with the company’s prima ballerina. As Colette’s relationship with James deepens, so does her need to find the purpose beneath her latent passion for dance - a purpose that manifests in new friendships, rediscovered talents, and in the pages of Song of Solomon.

Humorous and heartfelt, this debut novel reveals a lighter side to ballet that resonates with dancers and non-dancers alike. Cantique’s heroine is witty, whimsical, and highly relatable as she navigates love and dance in the midst of a quarter-life crisis.

Nice story

Nice story, I liked the ballet woven throughout and the idea of lost music found. The performance was ok, a good reading mostly but the brief bits of accents were a little off the mark and took me out of the story a bit.
