Het erfstuk by Adèle Geras

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.
