City of Night Birds by Juhea Kim (Ecco) is the December pick for Reese's Book Club, which described the book this way: "When a devastating accident stalls Natalia Leonova's professional ballet career, she returns home to St. Petersburg with a choice: return to the demanding world of Russian dance that nearly broke her or walk away for good. City of Night Birds explores the fierce and beautiful world of ballet and what it means to be an artist."
Reese wrote: "This story left me thinking about the ways we overcome setbacks and redefine what truly matters."
