Before Black Swan, there was Ballerina: Edward Stewart's acclaimed novel that follows two young women into the cutthroat world of professional dance
Stephanie Lang and Christine Avery meet in ballet school. Although they share the same dream -- to become great dancers -- they could not be more different. Ballet is in Stephanie's blood; her mother, Anna, is a former dancer who lives to see her daughter achieve the fame she herself never attained. Christine has lived a sheltered life, secure in the love of her family. But her privileged upbringing conceals a devastating secret.
Two teenage dancers, one chance to make it. From the thrill and terror of auditions through years of meticulous training to landing a coveted spot in a professional company, Stephanie and Christine relentlessly pursue their ambitions. As they give their all to dance, they become inseparable -- until they are torn apart by their passion for the same man, a brilliant Russian dancer whose seductive, mercurial temperament will have unforeseen consequences for them all.
