Maggiori informazioni sul libro
I can vividly remember the last steps of the last ballet, walking off the stage led by a mother and knowing the decision I had to make. That was my last dance. Mary Li (nee McKendry) is an international ballet star and a mother like no other. She became a household name when her husband Li Cunxin published his bestselling memoir, but that book told only half the story. Growing up in a lively family in Rockhampton, Mary developed a remarkable passion for ballet, which led her to London at sixteen to study at the Royal Ballet School and perform at the London Festival Ballet alongside legends like Nureyev. Later, as Principal Dancer with Houston Ballet, she fell in love with Li Cunxin. The couple became celebrated figures in the dance world, and their joy multiplied with the birth of their daughter, Sophie. Then, at the peak of her career, Mary seemingly vanished, leaving fans bewildered. What prompted such a talented and dedicated woman to step away? Now, nearly twenty years later, the truth emerges about this inspiring family and why Mary’s story deserves to be told. This powerful memoir explores the pursuit of an impossible dream and the sacrifices made for love, offering a moving narrative of passion, dedication, and devotion.
