One person who reviewed this book thought the writing was sophomoric. I cannot agree. I thought the author wrote in the voice of a young peasant girl who gradually becomes educated and an accomplished ballet dancer. The story is a love story but is also the story of a young woman who learns about love through experience. Her youth shows in her romantic view of the artist, Edgar Degas, with whom she falls in love. I quite liked this little story. Finally got back to finish this book. I think it should be rated as a YA book. It would be perfect for a young dancer to read about the background of dancers in the past.
