A Candle For St. Jude
Rumer Godden
A Candle for St. Jude is the tender, evocative tale of a London ballet school, the heroic taskmistress who is its guiding force, and the young dancers whose passionate devotion to the dance fill the school with buoyant hopes, clashing temperaments, and the vibrant energy of youth.
As the Madame and her students prepare for a forthcoming recital to commemorate her fifty years of dedication to the ballet, the reader shares in their special world…the unique relationship between Madame and the brilliant youngsters she trains, the backstage tensions and onstage triumphs, the tender loves and the burning frustrations of youth.
