A distinctly continental sort of graphic novel: 200 sepia-tone pages of rambling story about a young ballet dancer’s training and young adulthood, rather like Black Swan without the madness and body horror.

An absorbing tale… Both the art and the narrative are compelling and arresting and it isn’t long before the book has you in its gentle grip.
