Watch us Dance combines the youth, vibrancy and allure of Andre Aciman with the historical fiction force of Maggie Shipstead, and the exquisite sense of place and time of The Lost Daughter.
This is a novel that glides along with swan-like grace. . . [Slimani] has the novelist's rare skill of being able to nail a life in a single observation. . . Slimani is quietly devastating on how we are unwittingly, perhaps even helplessly, complicit with history.
