Though the image references a story, ‘Orange,’ that theme of compromised pleasure can be found throughout the book as a whole. “The photo of sheathed oranges under what looks like fluorescent lighting…the impression is one of compromised pleasure, which I thought juxtaposed the title nicely.

Bunheads by Sophie Flack Written by former pro dancer Sophie Flack, Bunheads chronicles the life of Hannah Ward, a teen whos in the Manhattan Ballet company. Simply because I almost always love books and movies about ballet (with the exception of Save the Last Dance – I’m sorry but that girl could NOT have gotten into Juliard). This doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy Bunheads. Where The Cranes Dance went beyond the world of ballet, Bunheads didn’t stray much from the cliches – a lengthy description of how she breaks in her pointe shoes, the struggle to balance career and love, etc. I may have made the mistake of reading this book too soon after reading The Cranes Dance.
