 ee Muses&nbsp\;is a love story that enthralls: a tale of Holocaust surviva
 l venturing through memory\, trauma\, and identity\, while raising the cur
 tain on the unforgiving discipline of ballet. In post-WWII New York\, John
  Curtin suffers lasting damage from having been forced to sing for the con
 centration camp kommandant who murdered his family. John trains to be a ps
 ychiatrist\, struggling to wrest his life from his terror of music and his
  past. Katya Symanova climbs the arduous path to Prima Ballerina of the Ne
 w York State Ballet\, becoming enmeshed in an abusive relationship with he
 r choreographer\, who makes Katya a star but controls her life. When John 
 receives a ticket to attend a ballet featuring Katya Symanova\, a spell is
  cast. As John and Katya follow circuitous paths to one another\, fear and
  promise rise in equal measure. Song\, Discipline\, and Memory weave their
  way through love and loss\, heartbreak and triumph. <em>-this summary tak
