Fat Girl Dancing

I loved this non-fiction book firstly for its extraordinary honesty about a very difficult topic – that is, our attitude to our bodies – especially when our particular body is not considered ‘perfect’ or even acceptable. 

Kneen looks at her own fat body and explores attitudes and myths about fatness. Secondly, I love the book because Kneen is a beautiful poetic writer, using language to convery experience with economy and elegance.

She does not shy away from even the most difficult topics. It is a confronting book, but a ‘must’ read for anyone who wants to understand how our bodies… show more.
