I really enjoyed this. I thought it was really interesting. It is a biography of a famous ballerina living in the USSR. And it's interesting from a historical perspective, but the parts I enjoyed the most were the descriptions of the ballets and the music and the costumes and everything else that goes into a ballet. The drama between the dancers and the other members of the company is also pretty entertaining. I can't imagine what it's like to live in a country where your success is based in large part on your political affiliations and not on your talent or abilities.

Sorry I was not able to read you book but it went to archive before I could get to it. Sorry once again.
