This was a good book, just not the book I was expecting, and that is what nagged at me while I read. I was expecting a book about Degas but what I was reading was the story of a young inexperienced girl from county who travels to Paris and rises to a leading position in the Paris Opera Ballet. While discovering her passion for dance and the dark secrets of the ballet Alexandrie does meet Degas and models for his famous ballet paintings but I felt the focus of the book was more on Alexandrie than Degas.

Chrissie Hmmm, you review was very helpful. I too am more interested in Degas than alexandrie. I also get the impression that Alexandrie is a bit of a "complainer". The beginning text gave me that impression!
