'Lucy Ashe's debut novel is a clever thriller set in a world which she knows so well, having trained at the Royal Ballet School and being a twin. It's a story of sisterly love, ambition, and obsession. I particularly liked the inclusion of real-life characters, such as Dame Ninette de Valois and Alicia Markova, and discovering Sadler's Wells really did have a well in it. The novel was written from several points of view, and while that can be a difficult format for the reader, it works as the characters are compelling. Take a bow, Ms Ashe.'.
