Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian
summer round-up selection - "magnificent"
Review
"Mackrell's enthralling biography restores Lydia Lopokova to her rightful position centre-stage." (Michael Arditti DAILY MAIL )
"Bloomsbury Ballerina is a compelling account of the extraordinary life and times of an unforgettable woman. Mackrell is to be congratulated." (Henrietta Garnett LITERARY REVIEW )
"the English took Lydia Lopokova to their hearts and so Judith Mackrell is right that she merits a biography." (Duncan Fallowell DAILY TELEGRAPH )
"Mackrell shows us exactly what made Lopokova one the last century's 'true originals.'" (Frances Wilson SUNDAY TIMES )
"Judith Mackrell.. is brilliant at making the reader see why Lopokova matters" (Kathryn Hughes THE GUARDIAN )
"How shrewd and kind of Mackrell to extricate Lopokova from so many decades as the snubbed alien in Bloomsbury footnotes." (Veronica Horwell NEW STATESMAN )
"Mackrell's unfailingly vivacious and scholarly biography pays splendid tribute" (Rupert Christiansen SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )
"she was, as Mackrell concludes, one of the 20th century's 'true originals' and this narrative tells us exactly why" (Clement Crisp FINANCIAL TIMES )
"What is successfully researched and confidently told is Lopokova's impressive dancing career" (Diana Souhami THE INDEPENDENT )
"admirably researched.. enthralling" (Mary Clarke Dancing Times )
"colourful and well-researched" (Robert Giddings Tribune )
"Lopokova led a life encompassed by ballet, Russian revolution and the Bloomsbury Group, every disparate strand woven skilfully together in Mackrell's thorough and absorbing biography" (The Good Book Guide )
"Judith Mackrell, in this masterly biography, shows us why we should remember her (Lopokova).. writing as fine as one could hope to encounter." (Judith Flanders TLS )
"this biographer is elegant and true about a seminal figure.. who has long lacked a proper historian-critic. Now, she has found one." (James Woodall Dance Europe )
"excellent" (Jonathan Sale CAM )
summer round-up selection - "magnificent" (Kathryn Hughes The Guardian )
"Mackrell has done an excellent job of putting her back in the spotlight again" (Marianne Brace INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY )

"The vividly-described, extraordinary life of the lively and eccentric ballerina" (COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD SHORTLIST )
