“I tore through this delectable book like a box of elegantly crafted chocolates. Even now, I keep riffling through the crumpled gold wrappers, wishing there were more. A fascinating, carefully researched, and intricately rendered portrait of the last tsar and his clever, talented, and wildly ambitious mistress, the prima ballerina assoluta Mathilde Kschessinska. Bravo, Little K.”

Janet Fitch, New York Times bestselling author of White Oleander

Adrienne Sharp studied ballet before turning to writing, and Booklist called White Swan, Black Swan, her acclaimed collection of short stories focusing on the world of dance, "breathtaking" in a starred review. In The True Memoirs of Little K, Sharp returns once again to the stage in a beautifully imagined tale of love. Now 99 years old, Mathilde Kschessinska sits down to write her memoirs, and ponders the life she lived as one of Russia's most talented dancers and the great love of Nikolai Romanov.
