Midnight in Everwood to me was the type of novel that I found myself transported right into the story but soon found that I wanted more than what I was finding. The world building was great but the story seemed to go at a rather slow pace spending half of the novel on things already known to the read in the book’s description and still with the slow pace leaving me feeling that it didn’t go as deep into the characters as I would have expected. Perhaps I just build this up to much but in the end I could only say it was an OK read. It does. As I mentioned earlier, I love ballet. It’s always held a special place in my heart and though I take adult beginner classes, I’m not very good at it myself! But there is something especially rewarding about pursuing something that you enjoy, even if you’re terrible at it. It’s very freeing to do something just for the fun of it.

No doubt he’s of German heritage,’ their father said, shaking a starched napkin out and draping it across his knees. ‘How curious, it has been quite some time since we’ve had a new acquaintance on this street. We shall have him dine with us one evening to take his measure ourselves. An inventor, you say? In which direction do his talents lie? Telephones? Electricity? Is the next Marconi in our midst?’ I heard he came to possess a fortune under mysterious circumstances and that’s why the man is so secretive.’ A sumptuous and spellbinding read' Heidi Swain, Sunday Times bestselling author of Underneath the Christmas Tree

When Drosselmeier constructs an elaborate set for Marietta’s final ballet performance, she discovers it carries a magic all of its own.

At once, Marietta is enchanted by this glittering world of glamorous gowns, gingerbread houses, miniature reindeer and the most delicious confectionary.
