The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan

4.0

Delicious writing. It all started with the sculpture of "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" by Edgar Degas.
Weaving facts into a beautiful story of three sisters who at some point in their lives end up as students of the Paris Opera Ballet dance school.

With no way to support themselves after their father dies, and their mother being a drunk, the girls turn to what they can to survive in the late 1800's Paris.
