5/20/2023 0 Comments Sophie flack books![]() ![]() All things aside, it's a lesson to the reader of the complete exhaustion and intense scrutiny of the body that a ballet dancer will go through. 5 quotes from Sophie Flack: Just when you think you cant go on, somewhere a little light comes on., Things are prettier in June, but theyre clearer in July., and Considering I pretty much melted from a single peck on the cheek, Im worried that a real kiss would turn me into a quivering puddle of goo. I took ballet as a child (I felt fairly confident that Mikhail Baryshnikov and I were meant to marry one day), but I soon found I wasn't as coordinated as I needed to be and dropped it soon after, so I don't remember anything but the basics (plìe, pirouette, etc.) But even if the terms for the movements are confusing, it's not necessary to have the accurate image in your mind, as you can pretty much ascertain that it's a lot of amazingly difficult twists, turns, pirouettes, and leaps. While there are several ballet terms in the book, you don't need to be an expert in the craft to grasp it. ![]() It is extremely well-told, with characters that genuinely bounded off the page with their dedication, discipline, and sometimes, dramatic and gossipy sides that was quite believable for a group of people so closely working together. For lack of a better way to phrase it, I was pleasantly surprised by this story. ![]()
