For the adventurer, student of human nature, amateur philosopher, or curious reader, this charming memoir has it all. The fascinating life story of Rachel Seri-Levy begins at the close of WWII and takes you from Romania to Israel, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Brooklyn, Berlin, and finally back home to Israel.
Sprinkled with Rachel’s wise musings and observations, her varied experiences and hobbies are set against the backdrop of warm friendships and a delightful self-awareness, poetic spirit, and perpetually positive attitude.
But life was far from a bed of roses for Rachel. From starting first grade three times—each in a new country with a foreign language—to her difficult marriage and subsequent divorce while single-handedly raising four children, she took it all in stride with grace and pure faith. When you read her story, you will understand why she is, quite literally, still dancing.
Rachel has lived a very full, fascinating life. Definitely more has happened to her so far, than most people experience in an entire lifetime. And what a motivating, inspirational life it's been. Interesting and moving story which will leave the reader with hope... Something we can all use more of these days. Thank you Rachel Seri-Levy for sharing your story.
I found "Still Dancing" a fascinating and inspirational read. Fascinating - because I never experienced a fraction of the experiences that Rachel Seri-Levy did. And inspiring - because considering the challenges she faced, like raising 4 children virtually single-handedly, I am in awe at her strength of character to come out whole and happy. I highly recommend this to all memoirs enthusiasts, regardless of background, race, or religion.
