Relentlessly ambitious, Mathilde Kschessinska charms, connives, and chassés her way to the center of the Romanov stage. The famed ballerina is the mistress of not one, but three members of the imperial family, including Nicholas II himself. The story of her scandalous life, told in the form of a dictated memoir, opens to us a world of splendor and intrigue that has long since disappeared. Little K, as her "Niki" called her, saw Russia at its most opulent and its most terrifying, and her narrative gives the reader an intimate look into this turbulent historical time. The story is dynamic and compulsively readable, particularly for an avid historical fiction fan such as myself. Sharp's greatest success lies in her humanized portrait of a woman whose infamy has often eclipsed her talent. Mathilde is an intriguing character, naively and hopelessly in love with a man she can never have. Throughout the course of the book, the reader sees her subtly change from a impetuous girl to a strong woman who protects herself and her family at all costs. My single gripe with The True Memoirs of Little K is that Sharp's tendency to rely on filler phrases such as "why...", "of course," and "yes..." to interject the ballerina's own thoughts into the book's heavy historical detail. As much as I enjoyed the considerable info about the outfits, the social events, and the political developments, it tended to eclipse the narrative. All in all: I highly recommend Little K to anyone looking for a particularly juicy portion of Russian history or, simply, for the perfect read for a lazy afternoon.
