Amazingly well written story. As a dancer I got lost in the descriptions of the events around setting up the ballet and Hester's history
katevrst's review against another edition
4.0
The world of the ballet always fascinated me, although it's a romantic image that I've created. This book showed all the aspects of dancing: the shows, the flowers, but also the suffering and the, sometimes unbearable, pressure. Hester is a defined character, all her life is written down, and because we've met her when she was a little girl, we know her fears and weak spots. This makes it more easy to understand her actions. This book is a must-read for all balletlovers. But: prepare for drama.
