It is privilege to know Deanna and although I just received my copy of her book I wanted to post what others are expressing the "The Belly Dancer" Blessings Shade “This first novel ... combines the exoticism of belly-dancing, a colorful and historically accurate setting in 1893 Chicago, and a fast-moving plot full of romance, conflict, cultural differences, ambition, and changing social and personal values. Released this month, it’s a great summer read. ... [Cameron’s] portrayal of the art of belly-dancing and its effect on participants and observers is both sensitive and sensual, opening a window into a world unknown to most readers.” – Marylin Hudson, Orange Coast magazine “Depicts with accuracy and sympathy the very real plight of women in 19th century America … intriguing.” – Publishers Weekly “The 1893 World’s Fair was a marvel, and in her debut, Cameron uses this backdrop to demonstrate one woman’s view of herself. Society is forever altered because of what she learns in the lush, sensual and exotic world of belly dancers. With a strong and vibrant picture of the era and a feminist approach to history, Cameron makes statements about women’s rights and society constraints.” -- RT Book Reviews magazine, 4 stars "A great summer read" -- Orange Coast magazine THE BELLY DANCER, Berkley, July 2009 - Shade , posted 07/08/09 |
