The Turnout

Megan Abbott

A family ballet school, an outsider inside the building, and the brutality underneath the discipline.

Two sisters run the family ballet school their mother left them, in a routine that has held for years until a fire brings a contractor into the building and their brother-in-law’s grip starts to slip. Abbott writes the physical brutality underneath ballet, and a household where nothing has ever been said directly.
