Description

Three Muses captivates the reader from the first page to the last." -Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Tinkers and Enon

Three Muses is a love story that enthrals: a tale of Holocaust survival venturing through memory, trauma, and identity, while raising the curtain on the unforgiving discipline of ballet.

In post-WWII New York, John Curtin suffers lasting damage from having been forced to sing for the concentration camp commendant who murdered his family. John trains to be a psychiatrist, struggling to wrest his life from his terror of music and his past.

Katya Symanova climbs the arduous path to Prima Ballerina of the New York State Ballet, becoming enmeshed in an abusive relationship with her choreographer, who makes Katya a star but controls her life.

When John receives a ticket to attend a ballet featuring Katya Symanova, a spell is cast. As John and Katya follow circuitous paths to one another, fear and promise rise in equal measure. Song, Discipline, and Memory weave their way through love and loss, heartbreak and triumph.
