Magical realism about a ballerina who moves to mysterious St. Petersburg. Obsession, atmosphere, art. Alina is a young ballerina. She dreams of theatrical mysticism and wants to prove in her debut performance that she is the Embodiment of Art—a dancer of otherworldly gift, whose virtuosity can’t be compared to anything accessible to an ordinary person. She fights for the main role, not realizing what part is actually waiting for her. The novel made it into the shortlist for the “Electronic Letter” and “New Children’s Book” awards.
