Belle

I was surprised by how much of this was about Toni's angst over whether or not to leave the New York City Ballet. Her description of the dancer's life and sacrifices was interesting, though I found it hard to relate to a lot of the devotion the dancer's had to Balanchine, perhaps just because I knew nothing about him before reading this book. I didn't like the "fiction" parts about a dancer falling in love, but overall it was an easy read, and not a bad book.
