A Dream of Sadler's Wells by Lorna Hill

5.0

Veronica is a kind, generous, naive, spontaneous, intelligent, emotional girl with incredible passion. She lives to dance and anything that might stop her is a genuine tragedy. She is constantly up in the heights or down in the depths and her narrative convinces you that these things really are of the utmost importance.

As for the other characters - Caroline is lovely, Fiona is beautifully nasty - I don't think she ever says a positive word! As for Sebastian... arrogant, masterful and intolerant of people he dislikes, he is also intelligent, quick-thinking, unstintingly generous to those he likes. He may behave badly, but he also matures and grows out of some of his worst characteristics (in the next book, mostly). Oh, and did I mention he's totally gorgeous.....
