It is not a shiver. It is not a shimmy. It is Full Body Shaking.
'The more I sleep, the more I can start over when I wake up. Refresh. Rethink. Colour my hair pink.'For Poppie Poggenpoel, life does not go on as usual. She can be anything she wants to be, except herself. Part battered small-town girl, part alluring traveller, her search for the right look has her doing whatever it takes to shake the hollow feeling. From behind layers of doll-eye mascara she transforms herself, only to take on everyone else's ideas of what it means to be enough. Will she find a safe place to be; a dancing, breathing human being–made of the same water and dust as everyone else?
Thrilling, shocking and tremendously sexual, Full Body Shaking is a story of a woman who crosses borders, boundaries and personas in a glamorous attempt to travel and dance her way around physical and sexual abuse, toxic relationships and emotional trauma.
It's the novel every woman needs to read and recommend. Turn over a new page for all womankind with the best-dressed book of the year!
