This reminded me of the Nadia Comaneci biography and once again I find world of professional ballet in Europe is so alluring.

The subdued way of the panels and story matches that world, I feel.

It is a condensed story, however. I wish it had been more spread out because I wanted to know more.

A really pleasant read ! The drawing is very economic and simplistic, yet, it perfectly conveys motion. I've got a decade of ballet in my past, and I really enjoyed the thoughts on why do we dance, for whom, and what we can convey through dancing. Also there are some pages that are beautiful and easily come to life as the eyes slide from one drawing to another. The story itself is again simple but efficient

Dit is een fantastisch en ergens ook onverwachts verhaal. Vivès heeft een heel eigen tekenstijl, die misschien niet iedereen zal behagen, maar het is zeer de moeite om u verder in te verdiepen.
