Favorite Line
"To study the art, to enter the temple, was already to be a Brahmin, and the art -- I came to understand -- needed us all, corps members, soloists, and stars."
My Thoughts
I finally found my copy of White Swan, Black Swan. I thought I had lost it, but it was right in front of my face the whole time. I'm glad I found it, because I was really in the mood for a good ballet dancer story. The Brahmins is perhaps my favorite story in the whole book. I don't know why it sticks out to me more the the others, because they are all beautiful stories. I guess something in the story is easy for me to connect to. I also love the journey Katie goes through, and her revelations at the end of the story. It has a lot of engaging scenes as well. I LOVE this story! I definately could read it over and over.
