Welcome to Litsy!

I mean, it's Sarah Moss so of course it's good!
There were storylines, though, that I would happily have read whole books about and so (unreasonably) feel a little short-changed.

“La Belle Époque translates to "the beautiful era," a period of French and European history from roughly 1871 to 1914, defined by optimism, peace, and prosperity, though not without its own social and political tensions. It was a time of cultural, scientific, and technological advancements, including the development of Impressionism, and the construction of the Eiffel Tower. What are you reading?

“My dancers never fall to simply fall. They fall to rise“.

Ballet for Martha tells the story of how three artists, Martha Graham, Aaron Copland, and Isamu Noguchi, worked together to create the famous ballet Appalachian Spring. The book shows each person‘s role in bringing the performance to life, celebrating creativity, teamwork, and the power of art to tell a story through music, movement, and design.

Happy Halloween from Angelina Ballerina and Felix “the Cat!” 🐭🩰🐈‍⬛🐶

After 🩰 exam rehearsal on Sun I did over Vinnies. Grand total🟰 $23. The 📕 includes a gorgeous pop up. Afterwards I went to the Veteran‘s markets but every1 was packing up so I didn‘t come away with anything. I usually come away with lots. I walked home picking up a click & collect on the way, I visited the Metro for groceries, had my Zoom 🩰 class then visited my aunt who was staying in the apartments next 🚪. My favourite cousin was there too.

This is the author‘s debut published in 1995. It‘s published as a novel but feels like it has to be a memoir. A section on the character‘s father, one on the mother, one on the experience of ballet dancers, and one on falling for a married Russian immigrant. As I was reading it I thought the writing was too simple, but by the end I realized how impactful the descriptions were and how close I felt to the characters. #10BeforetheEnd #offtheshelf
