About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
The life of 12-year-old Billy, a coal miner's son from northern
England, changes completely when he stumbles on a ballet class on the
way to his weekly boxing lessons. Since admitting that he likes ballet
in the fiercely macho culture of his town is tantamount to claiming that
he is gay, Billy keeps his passion quiet. But when his teacher insists
that he should audition for ballet school in London, family tensions
inevitably arise.
This 2001 work by acclaimed dramatist Burgess is based on the screenplay
of the award-winning movie of the same name. Although the book is
considered YA material, Burgess's exploration of sexual politics and the
story's backdrop of the mining strikes that gripped Britain in the early
1980s will also appeal to adult readers.
