Stāsts interesants, tomēr nepamet sajūta, ka balerīna grib parādīt, cik ļoti viņa ir strādājusi vairāk kā citi un cik ļoti viņa ir cīnījusies, lai kaut ko dabūtu vai sasniegtu. Grāmatas beigās tas jau likās mazliet kaitinoši.

Interesting to read - the story of Monica who left home at 13 to travel to Russia to learn ballet was fascinating. However the book itself wasn't well written which made it hard to read at times. It's got me listening to Swan Lake again though which is a huge bonus!

It was quite good.
I did find her struggles and emotions through this book quite fantastic. She was couragous everytime she went out and tried her best.
