Interesting autobiography, that mostly focuses on Farrell's relationship with George Balanchine, both professionally and personally. I felt that she was consistently presenting a positive view of Balanchine, and was very lenient toward his shortcomings.
For those who read this as a dancer or ballet lover, there is lots of detail regarding the development of a dance and the running of rehearsals that were fascinating.
