Tuesday Night at the Kasbah - Tapa blanda

"Full of Eastern promise!" - Marina Oliver"

"The first thing that struck Judy was the music...It seemed so out of place here in an English church hall, yet as she listened to it, it invaded her body and shivered over her mind until the music was natural and the hall and the gaggle of chattering white women in their jeans and sweatshirts and styled hair were slightly odd." 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. 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. Judy finds she has a choice - but choices are not always easy to make.
