Jewish Persecution in the old Soviet Ballet World

I bought this book expecting a love story about Valery and Galina Panov, whom I was lucky enough to see dance 'Albanoni's Adagio' in the 70s. It was electrifying. As was the book, which was, indeed, about the love between the Panovs, their love and devotion to dance, and Valery's passionate love of freedom and the ability to make his own choices. It has all the elements of a romance novel: nasty divorce, ruthless government, wrongful imprisonment, suffering and degradation, and redemption and vindication. Quite a story!
