Hannah is nineteen and dances in the very competitive Manhattan Ballet in New York City. Sometimes it’s fun to read about a world you have absolutely no experience with. A nice thought, but.perhaps not for BEA lines?Īnyway, I read Bunheads within two weeks of getting home from New York and I just really enjoyed it. I will note, for the record, that the line took forever, because not only was Sophie Flack signing the book, but she was drawing a pair of ballet shoes in each book (and then coloring them in with pink highlighter, which the rep finally confiscated because it really was taking forever). I know next to nothing about ballet, but when I stopped at the Little Brown booth at TLA, the rep told me that Bunheads was a debut novel by Sophie Flack, a former New York City Ballet dancer, and I was intrigued enough that when they were passing out copies the next month at BEA (and Sophie Flack was signing), I stood in line to get one. It is not related the TV show Bunheads produced by Amy Sherman-Palladino Bunheads is a young adult novel written by Sophie Flack, inspired by her experiences as a New York City Ballet dancer.
