Description
"How romantic it sounds—to reach for the stars. It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t dreamed of it. For Eva Gracheva, the road to the stars began in a small provincial town on the very day her mother brought her to gymnastics training. It’s not easy to live by a single goal: up… up… up… toward the winning step on the podium. You have to give up everything, including what is most dear, and falls can be catastrophic. Still—whoever learns to overcome herself will achieve much. It’s possible to reach for the stars, but the path to them will be thorny.
The prototypes of the characters and the inspirations for this book—written over two and a half years—were many real athletes from the Russian national team and other people connected with high-level sport. The story the author tells is not only about sport. It is a narrative about sincere faith, true friendship, love, genuine humaneness—and the price each of us pays for dreams, achievements, and mistakes."
