In my eyes she had always been old, always been mine, always been
Granny Dan. But in another time, another place, there had been
dancing, people, laughter, love... She was the cherished
grandmother who sang songs in Russian, loved to roller-skate, and
spoke little of her past. But when Granny Dan died, all that
remained was a box wrapped in brown paper. Inside, an old pair of
satin ballet shoes, a gold locket, and a stack of letters tied with
ribbon. It was her legacy, a secret past, waiting to be discovered
by the granddaughter who loved her but never really knew her. It
was a story waiting to be told... The year was 1902. A motherless
young girl arrived at ballet school in St Petersburg. By the age of
seventeen Danina Petroskova was forced to make a heartbreaking
choice - as the world around her was about to change forever. In
this extraordinary novel a simple box, filled with mementos from a
grandmother, offers a long-forgotten history of youth and beauty,
love and dreams.
