My Journey as a Belly Dancer

I was looking for something a bit different to read and as I am a fan of a true story I thought I would try an auto-biography. I came across this one and was intrigued by the description when I learnt that, like me, the author worked as a legal secretary in London. I was captivated and read the book in a couple of days. What a completely thrilling story to discover a hidden talent totally different to the humdrum day job and then to take that interest further by having lessons and then working profesionally as a belly dancer in restaurants and clubs whilst still holding down the busy day job! Where did she find the energy! Such an inspiration to the younger generation who are feeling uninspired in their day job that they can still follow their dreams. It was also interesting to read about Eliabeth's early life and family and connections with the spiritual world and the reader will see how fate plays a part towards the end of the story.

Really enjoyed this book. Not only is it a fascinating story of her life belly dancing but it also reveals interesting insights about her life as a legal secretary during the day. Add to this stories of trips to Russian, Morocco and Cyprus, plus a surprise ending - it was a pure pleasure to read.
