NOCTURNE - ALYSSA WEES TASCHENBUCH

In this gorgeous and haunting fantasy set in 1930s Chicago  a talented ballerina finds herself
torn between her dreams and her desires when she's pursued by a secretive patron who may be
more than he seems.   Grace has always wanted to be a ballerina  ever since she first peered
through the windows of the Near North Ballet company. The elegance of the dance seemed
transcendent to an immigrant child of the working poor  and so  when she is orphaned  it is to
the ballet that she flees.  Years later  Grace is on the verge of becoming the company's new
prima ballerina - though she is beginning to realise that achieving her long-held dream may not
be the triumph she once envisioned. Then Grace attracts the attention of the enigmatic Master
La Rosa  and realises that the world may not be as small or constricted as she had come to
fear.  But who is her mysterious patron  and what does he want from her? As Grace begins to
unlock the Master's secrets  she discovers that there may be another way entirely to achieve
the transcendence she has always sought.
