'A wonderful, eye-opening debut.' The Times Surely you would like to be immortalised in art, fixed forever in perfection? Sadler's Wells, 1933. I would kill to dance like her. Disciplined and dedicated, Olivia is the perfect ballerina. But no matter how hard she works, she can never match identical twin Clara's charm. I would kill to be with her. As rehearsals intensify for the ballet Coppélia, the girls feel increasingly like they are being watched. And, as infatuation turns to obsession, everything begins to unravel.

Clara and Olivia is a fascinating debut novel by Lucy Ashe. Behind the scenes in a theatre has always provided great fiction, and add in identical twin ballet dancers during wartime and you have a compelling narrative right from the beginning.
