Balerina, balerina (English title: Ballerina, Ballerina: A Novel) is a novel by Slovenian author Marko SosiÃÂ. It was first published in Slovenian in 1997.
The novel is about a fifthteen year old girl who wets her bed every morning, signifying a new day. While the book is set in the 1960s where world advancements are happening every day (Such as the Vietnam War and the Moon landing), she believes her own little world filled with relationships are far more important. Her narrow-minded view of the world might just allow her to actually appericiate what truly matters in her life.
