Join as The Country Bookshop in partnership with Weymouth Center for the Arts & Humanities welcomes Elaine Neil Orr to discuss her new book Dancing Woman.

“It’s 1963 and Isabel Hammond is an expat who has accompanied her agriculture aid worker husband to Nigeria, where she is hoping to find inspiration for her art and for her life. Against the backdrop of political unrest in Nigeria, Isabel’s personal situation becomes precarious. She finds herself in the center of a tide of suspicion, leaving her torn between the confines of her domestic life and the desire to immerse herself in her art and in the culture that surrounds her. The expat society, the ancient Nigerian culture, her beautiful family, and even the statue hidden in a back room–each trouble and beguile Isabel. Amid all of this, can she finally become who she wants to be?”
