Celebrating The Beggar's Dance

Reading an excerpt from
The Beggar's Dance
The Beggar's Dance book launch was a celebration with people who supported me during this five year writing journey.

Joyce Gram introducing me

My editor Joyce Gram shared her story about how much she enjoyed working on this project before introducing me.






 
The party getting started - emcee Liz Schofield

I am blessed with family and friends who helped at the event - my husband, my son, my sister-in-law Zain, my brother, my goddaughter and two friends, Rozy and Zahra, and fantastic emcee Liz Schofield.


Book signing with Gloria Barkley

Highlights worth mentioning:

  • My mum crying before I had even started the presentation.
  • Gloria Barkley attending and getting my book  signed.
  • Me wearing high heels for the three hours. 


Moments I shall cherish forever.

Books have arrived - The Beggar's Dance

The Beggar's Dance by Farida Somjee


Somebody pinch me
  Is this for real
Must be a dream

I gaze at the box
 and smile
Yes, it is a dream
