Set in the last years of the Romanov dynasty in Russia, this is a love story set around two dancers at the Imperial Ballet. Set at a dangerous period in time, I was expecting great things with this novel, but for me it all felt a little flat and I didn't real believe in the great love story it was trying to portray. Still I am thinking of buying tickets to see Swan Lake with the touring Russian Ballet after reading this book. 3/5 |

Stories set in momentous times aren't always momentous themselves, I guess.
