La perfection a un coût. . . Avec une prose transportant et des détails méticuleux, dans une époque qui reste étonnamment pertinente aujourd'hui, Winterland de Rae Meadows raconte une histoire de gloire, de perte, d'espoir et de détermination, et de trouver de la lumière là où il n'y en a pas.
Union soviétique, 1973 : Il n'y a peut-être pas de plus grand honneur pour une jeune fille que d'être choisie pour le célèbre programme de gymnastique de l'URSS. Lorsque Anya de huit ans est sélectionnée, sa famille est ravie. Ce qui reste de sa famille, c'est-à-dire. Il y a des années, sa mère a disparu sans laisser de trace, laissant le père d'Anya dévasté et leur vie sombre et calme dans le froid amer de la Sibérie. Le seul confident d'Anya est son voisin, une femme plus âgée qui a survécu à des horreurs indicibles pendant ses dix ans emprisonnés dans un camp du Goulag et qui, à l'insu d'Anya, était également la confidente de sa mère et pourrait détenir la clé de sa disparition.
Au fur et à mesure qu'Anya monte dans les rangs de la gymnastique de compétition, et que d'autres filles tombent en disgrâce, elle se rend vite compte qu'il y a très peu de marge d'erreur pour quiconque et tant à perdre.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Perfection has a cost . . . With transporting prose and meticulous detail, set in an era that remains shockingly relevant today, Rae Meadows's Winterland tells a story of glory, loss, hope, and determination, and of finding light where none exists. Soviet Union, 1973: There is perhaps no greater honor for a young girl than to be chosen for the famed USSR gymnastics program. When eight-year-old Anya is selected, her family is thrilled. What is left of her family, that is. Years ago, her mother disappeared without a trace, leaving Anya's father devastated and their lives dark and quiet in the bitter cold of Siberia. Anya's only confidant is her neighbor, an older woman who survived unspeakable horrors during her ten years imprisoned in a Gulag camp--and who, unbeknownst to Anya, was also her mother's confidant and might hold the key to her disappearance. As Anya rises through the ranks of competitive gymnastics, and as other girls fall from grace, she soon comes to realize that there is very little margin of error for anyone and so much to lose.
