Isadora: A Novel

"Legendary American dancer Isadora Duncan lost all three of her children before she died in a freak accident; Amelia Gray’s biographical novel about the dancer covers the period between the deaths of her first two children in a car accident and the birth of her third. Gray is a gutsy, utterly original writer, and this is the finest work she has done so far. Isadora is a masterful portrait of one of America’s greatest artists, and it’s also a beautiful reflection on what it means to be suffocated by grief, but not quite willing to give up."
