"Dancing is not, as with some of the other arts, a matter of short inspiration and quick effects; dancing is a vocation. A girl whom I choose to star as much gives her life to dancing as a novice entering a nunnery gives her life to religion."

So says the demanding Madame Tania as she offers a long-awaited starring role to young Judith Nell, who has strived her whole life for success in the ballet. But her big break arrives just as she's falling for Paul, who has demands of his own. The resulting conflict, and the pressure from Judith's mother, who tries to make up for her own stifled ambitions by obsessing over Judith's career, form the crux of a riveting, poignant tale by an author who knows the ins and outs of ballet better than anyone. Enriching the main story are Judith's fellow dancers-including a young girl who has sacrificed her youth only to grow too tall for a career-and her brothers. Not to mention the fearsome Madame Tania, who ends by getting told off in no uncertain terms!

Pirouette is the eleventh of twelve charming, page-turning romances published under the pseudonym "Susan Scarlett" by none other than beloved children's author and novelist Noel Streatfeild. Out of print for decades, they were rediscovered by Greyladies Books in the early 2010s, and Dean Street Press and Furrowed Middlebrow are delighted now to make all twelve available to a wider audience.
