“Haunting. Riveting. Filled with hope. The Lost Melody is all these things and more. Author Joanna Davidson Politano delves into the dark world of Victorian mental health, and it’s the reader who comes out the winner after being enchanted by this tale of identity lost. After you read the last page, the characters will live on in your mind. Truly a fantastic read!”

Michelle Griep, author of Lost in Darkness

“Joanna Davidson Politano’s stories go on my bookshelf as a favorite! The stories she pens entice my Gothic-loving senses, thrill my literary soul, and inspire the dark romantic inside my spirit. I cannot emphasize enough how strongly I adore each story from this vivid and insightful author, and how badly I wish for all readers to experience her tales!”

Jaime Jo Wright, author of The Souls of Lost Lake and Christy Award–winning The House on Foster Hill

Praise for A Midnight Dance

“Politano writes beautifully, evoking the magic of ballet and the theater from the opening turns to the final curtain, leaving readers applauding for an encore.”

Booklist

“If you’re looking for mesmerizing historical romance, you need to read this book.”

Interviews & Reviews

“Politano’s latest novel, A Midnight Dance, is a true work of art that encapsulates ballet in the Victorian era.”

Box Office Revolution

“With an ability to create characters who pirouette right into our hearts, Politano has written a story that is at once deeply atmospheric, yet grounded in the universal ache to belong and be loved. A gently charming romance seamlessly weaves through Ella’s quest to unravel the mystery of her past.”

Kimberly Duffy, author of A Mosaic of Wings and A Tapestry of Light
