 About the Book

 Leaving London, dancing master Alec Valcourt moves his mother and sister to remote Devonshire--but is stunned to discover that dancing is prohibited! He finds an unlikely ally in Miss Julia Midwinter, but her questions about his past are becoming harder to evade. Together, can they bring new life to this quiet village--and heal long-kept-secret scars?

My Review

Julie Klassen is a newer author to me, the first book of hers I read was the Tutor's Daughter. I loved that book so much that I went a read her previous books, though some better than others. I was really excited for the Dancing Master and was surprised at how thick of a book it is. I love reading about the history of dancing masters, I had no idea they existed! It's really very interesting history and Klassen does add a bit of mystery throughout the book till the end. I will say this story was not quite as clever as the Tutor's Daughter, I figured out the "mystery" fairly quickly. The main characters are likable, but at times Julie irritated me. The setting is beautiful (at least in my imagination)and the story wraps up nicely. While this is not Klassen's best work, it is a good novel. If you enjoy historical novels or Julie Klassen you will probably enjoy this read.
