NEW RELEASE
Prima Donna - Karen Swan (2011)
Pia Soto is a glamorous ballerina who believes she is the best dancer in the world and she displays her arrogant attitude to anyone who meets her. She came from nothing and is very proud of the empire she has created. And usually her assistant Sophie is on hand to do everything for her. One day Pia gets into a freak accident that causes her to have to rely on a man, Will Silk, who she knows little about. Is her illustrious career about to be cut short or will this incident cause her to reassess her whole life - and attitude? Full of diva behaviour and behind-the-scene looks at the gruelling ballet world, this is perhaps "tutu" good to miss! (CG)
Prima Donna, by Karen Swan, is about a girl who likes breaking the rules. The summary says: "Pia Soto is the sexy and glamorous prima ballerina, the Brazilian bombshell who's shaking up the ballet world with her outrageous behaviour. She's wild and precocious, and she's a survivor. She's determined that no man will ever control her destiny. But ruthless financier Will Silk has Pia in his sights, and has other ideas ... Sophie O'Farrell is Pia's hapless, gawky assistant, the girl-next-door to Pia's Prima Donna, always either falling in love with the wrong man or just falling over. Sophie sets her own dreams aside to pick up the debris in Pia's wake, but she's no angel. When a devastating accident threatens to cut short Pia's illustrious career, Sophie has to step out of the shadows and face up to the demons in her own life." Prima Donna is out in January.
