Meg Howrey

The Cranes Dance (Vintage)

Novelist Meg Howrey returns to Skylight to launch her latest, The Cranes Dance, set in the ultra-competitive world of professional ballet. “Howrey’s engaging new novel exposes the competitive world of professional ballet through Kate Crane, a charmingly sarcastic ballerina at a crossroads. . . . Kate is an ideal guide to an unfamiliar world, from her irreverent explanations of her ballets (Howrey was a professional dancer) to her relatable self-doubt and honesty. Her revelations about family, talent, and what makes us special create a thought-provoking and entertaining read.” —Publishers Weekly Meg Howrey was a professional dancer and actress. She currently lives in Los Angeles. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS MAY 16, 2012.
