Maya & Natasha (2025)
A novel by Elyse Durham

This stunning debut novel set in the fascinating world of Cold War Soviet ballet follows the fates of twin sisters whose bond is competitive, complicated, but never broken.

Maya and Natasha are twin sisters born in the midst of the Siege of Leningrad in 1941 and immediately abandoned by their mother, a prima ballerina at the Kirov Ballet who would rather die than not dance. Taken in by their mother¡¯s best friend at the Kirov, the girls are raised to be dancers themselves. The Vaganova Ballet Academy¡ªand the totalitarian Soviet regime¡ªis the only world they know.

In 1958, now seniors at the Vaganova at the height of the Cold War, all Maya and Natasha and their classmates want is to dance with the Kirov, and to join the company on its tour to America next year. But a new law from the Kremlin upends Maya and Natasha¡¯s lives: due to fears of defection, family members may no longer travel abroad together. The Kirov can only accept one of them.
