The New York Times bestselling author of Great Circle 'Brilliantly
written; the first ballet novel for grown-ups' THE TIMES 'A bravura
display of high-performance art' GUARDIAN 'Brims with emotion ...
an accomplished novel embracing both domestic drama and the
competitive quest for perfection' SUNDAY TIMES Astonish Me is the
irresistible story of Joan, a young American dancer who helps a
Soviet ballet star, the great Arslan Rusakov, defect in 1975. A
flash of fame and a passionate love affair follow, but Joan knows
that, onstage and off, she is destined to remain in the shadows.
After her relationship with Arslan sours, Joan decides to quit
ballet and make a new life for herself. But as the years pass, Joan
comes to understand that ballet isn't finished with her yet... From
the prize-winning author of Seating Arrangements comes an
exquisitely written, fiercely compelling glimpse into the demanding
world of professional ballet and its magnetic hold over two
generations. 'Cleverly constructed with some elegant pirouettes of
its own' DAILY MAIL 'A gripping mix of family drama and insight
into the world of ballet' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 'Shipstead is a gifted
writer who examines families and relationships in a poignant,
insightful way' STYLIST 'A dazzling story rooted in the competitive
world of dance' WOMAN & HOME 'So graceful, so dazzling, so
sure-handed and fearless, that at times I had to remind myself to
breathe' Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette 'I will
be paying close attention to Shipstead's career from here on in'
Jeffrey Eugenides
