A deep insight into the lives of the working class in Paris in 1870's & 1880's. and into a family of 3 sisters & an alcoholic mother trying to survive as best they can. The story is told from the perspectives of the 3 sisters of different ages, sometimes emotional close but often often in conflict. It is also an introduction into ballet & how the young women suffer to hang on. Good portrait of Degas & his struggle to paint "real" people in the streets of Paris, as well as the French criminal system at that period. I would strongly recommend it you love history, Paris, & Degas.
