Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cardinal Family
Fifteen! How she does grow! It seems to me I can see her still, no taller than that, among the little urchins in Guillaume Tell, in the air, on the bridge and up above the torrent, during the ballet.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Step into the vibrant world of the Paris Opera in 1870, where the lives of the "little Cardinals" unfold amidst a backdrop of historical upheaval and personal drama. This book delves into the story of Madame Cardinal, a formidable woman navigating the complexities of motherhood and the precarious world of ballet. Her daughters, Virginie and Pauline, are talented dancers striving for success in a competitive and demanding environment. Through the intimate lens of this family's experiences, the author paints a vivid picture of Parisian society during a turbulent era. The Franco-Prussian War, the fall of the Second Empire, and the rise and fall of the Paris Commune serve as a dynamic backdrop to the Cardinals' personal struggles. The book explores themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the enduring bonds of family. We witness Madame Cardinal's fierce love for her daughters as she fiercely advocates for their futures, even as she grapples with the challenges of their chosen profession. The story offers a glimpse into the glamorous yet demanding world of ballet, where talent and beauty are intertwined with vulnerability and fierce competition. Ultimately, this book offers a poignant reflection on the human spirit's resilience in the face of historical and personal challenges. It reminds us of the enduring power of love and family, even amidst the uncertainties and upheavals of life.
