Cover Attraction | An Invitation to Dance by Marion Urch
I’m a very visual person and love beautiful, or interesting, cover art. It entices, and invites, me to stop and take a peek instead of walking right on by. This week’s Cover Attraction is:
Title: An Invitation to Dance
Author: Marion Urch
Release date: May ’09
A compelling work of historical fiction which recounts the astonishing life of Lola Montez, a daring young Irish woman who took on the role in life of a Spanish dancer. Set against the turbulent beginnings of the 19th century, An Invitation to Dance sweeps from the margins of the Empire – Ireland and India – to within the upper echelons of society. This is the extraordinary fictionalised story of a woman who danced her way across Europe leaving scandal in her wake – becoming the muse of Liszt and causing the abdication of King Ludwig I of Bavaria.

Love both the cover and the premise of the story. Something different for a change.
Beautiful cover!
Here’s mine for the week!
Now that is a lovely cover and it looks like a great book. I’ve seen a biography of Lola Montez in my library but it isn’t nearly so beautiful and so I haven’t picked it up yet. I haven’t seen anything nice enough to call a cover attraction for the last few weeks, but I have one now and you can see it here.

Oh, I’m with you! That cover art is beautiful.
this is a gorgeous cover…love it. I like what you’ve done with you blog. The new look is great. I almost thought I was in the wrong place.
I completely agree with you on cover attraction! I’ve picked up so many books I would have otherwise walked right by simply because I loved the cover!
By the way – I love your new blog theme!!
