“Kindly change your mind. Marry me. You do not need to work. I will get you everything you need.”
“I apologize. I repeat again. I cannot leave my work.”
“I love you very much.”
“Then marry me as I’m now.”
“I cannot.”
“Why what is wrong with me working?”
“People will say I married ‘The Dancer’.”
Kahraman was furious and answered in a very cold manner, “then I am wasting my time.”
“What about us?”
Without a reply, Kahraman walked away.

About the Book
She moved her body lightly and gracefully like a butterfly stroked by wind. On her bare feet and galvanizing figure, she augmented the art of belly dancing and embraced it to stages of poise, away from vulgarity.
Known to be the most influential and underrated woman of her time for her captivating performances, for her charitable accomplishments, and for startling the respectable society of the Middle East with her feminist drive, her liberal beliefs, and her provocative life.
Kahraman is a novel, set in the 1950’s in Egypt, when theatre, music and cinema were at their peak of glory, but at its core is the story of a woman who tiptoed on history by simply being herself.
