Invitation to the Waltz is a short novel that was first published in 1932. The narrative takes place over two days: the day of Olivia Curtis' seventeenth birthday and the day when she goes to her first dance.
While I appreciate how upbeat this novel is and the transition between girlhood and adulthood, I honestly cannot say that I was engaged by the story or the characters. Had I picked this up a few years later, as an adult who was pursuing Literature, I might have had a more appreciation for the story and the idea behind it.
2.5 stars.
