Tuesday night at the Kasbah

By Patricia Kitchin

Subjects: Belly dance, Fiction

Description: When Judy Blackwell joins a belly dancing class, she is only looking for a distraction from her empty marriage and emptying nest. She doesn't expect to get caught up in the lives and loves of other women in the group. As the women make exotic costumes and learn to undulate and shimmy, their menfolk are drawn into the circle. Judy, who has always believed in not rocking the boat, finds herself drawn towards Naz's widowed father, Trevor. Maybe it's the sinuous Middle Eastern music, maybe it's all that wine they keep drinking, but soon everyone finds themselves behaving in unexpected ways.
