A fictionalized autobiography of Marie Van Goethem, the impoverished student from the Paris Opera ballet school who became the model for Edgar Degas's famous sculpture, "The Little Dancer." I'm really not into Art...but the historical details were wonderful. Marie lives in a world that is a contrast between what she is on stage and what her real life is all about. I love historical fiction, so I enjoyed the book. It was a quick read.
