I must say I'm a little disappointed, jen expecting maybe a little too much.
I liked the story and returns in the past Nina, prima ballerina. We follow her from childhood, when his hearing to enter the Bolshoi dance school, until his flight from the USSR.
I liked the incursions in the past, Nina, or lon follows his progress up to become a ballerina. Life in Stalin's USSR, becoming harder as and as the years pass. Betrayal, denunciation, but also love and tragedy are the ingredients of this book. Everything jaime.
Unfortunately, in the first part of the book I have been disturbed by the very structure of the book. Indeed sometimes in the same chapter we follow Nina in Boston, an octogenarian become cantankerous and Gregory, a Russian man fifty dune dannée trying to contact Nina, or Drew, responsible for the sale of Nina jewelry, or Nina finally in the past in the USSR. There is sometimes quun newline for us to pass dun character to another, and suddenly sometimes i do the flashbacks, to understand what's going on. Moreover, I found the author décriture style sometimes too descriptive, at the same time causing unnecessary lengths.
Once assimilated how i worked lauteure his book, I have taken a little more fun to this reading. I liked the character of the young Nina, courageous and hardworking, and the character of Grigory, adopted child who seeks his roots since so many years.
This book was published by Pocket Editions in February 2013.
