The long awaited autobiography of skating's best-loved couple.
The world's most successful and popular skating couple tell their own story,from their working-class childhoods in Nottingham to world stardom with their own multi-million pound show.Two ordinary people who have achieved extraordinary success,Torvill & Dean's triumphs and disappointments have already become part of both sporting and artistic legend.Now, for the first time,they talk frankly about the behind-the-scenes reality of their astounding career,including: The creation of Bolero,which won them gold at the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo - so moving that millions of people remember precisely where they were when they saw it; The bitter truth behind their comeback in the 1994 Olympics - and their own analysis of why they received 'only' a bronze medal for a performance judged by an outraged public as worthy of gold; The key to their extraordinary relationship - on and off the ice.Revealing the conflicts and chaos, some of it hilarious,that lie behind international competitions and ice shows, Jayne and Chris also reveal the dedication that underlies their artistry and explain how they create their dazzling skating
routines.As popular as any rock band,and loved by millions throughout the world, success and popularity have never been enough for Jayne and Chris - and never will be.Always seeking to expand the frontiers of their chosen artform,they have had to struggle for the artistic freedom they needed.Until now. . . . .
Jayne and Chris bring us fully up to date (1995) as they describe how they created their own show,'Face the Music',with a superb corps of international ice dancers. Secure at last in their personal lives, they have also created a professional family that reflects their imagination, talent and generosity of spirit.
