Why read it?
1 author picked Dancing on My Grave as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I found that this sometimes funny but always emotional and moving account of Ms. Kirkland's life as a ballerina in New York City to be a real triumph. She brings to the pages an honesty that is rarely seen, even in autobiographies. From the illegal drug scene that nearly killed her to the everyday trials of an immensely talented dancer caught between two worlds, this is the stuff that nightmares are made of.
From Adin's list on the artistry of ballet and classical music.
