Ekaterina Gordeeva: Overcoming Adversity

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Biography
Review: I thought that Anne E. Hill did a wonderful job on this book. I loved all the pictures included, many from G & G's earlier years. The cover illustrations are beautiful, and the layout is easy to read. If you have read "My Sergei", a lot of the information is repeated, and there are many quotes from there. However, I did learn a lot of new facts too. An enjoyable read, would recommend for anyone, not just fans. Tells the incredible story of love, heartbreak, and moving on with life throughout tough circumstances.
