Between the Sheets: a story about life, lust and love - Paperback

Holland, Britt: - Helen Van Wengen (Britt Holland) is a citizen of the world. That sense of wonder, sharing and positivity in the joy of cultural exchanges has been poured into a series of books which in part reflect different aspects of Helen's own remarkable life. Born in Holland, Helen's childhood was in the Netherlands, with frequent visits to the UK, before she travelled to Switzerland to study hospitality at one of the world's top Hospitality Management Schools. There, Helen was introduced to friends and cultures as they lived, learned, and forged strong globalfriendships.This experience shaped the young woman's life forever and set her on a journey that would see her work in the hotel industry worldwide, particularly in Europe and the Middle East and in Central America and Asia.Now living between Jordan and Amsterdam, Helen is engaged in multiple projects, ranging from hospitality and tourism to social enterprise initiatives that drive profit for purpose, people, and planet. Helen believes in aspirational outcomes with a positive spirit. With her upbeat nature, Helen knows that miracles happen every day.And on meeting Helen, it is the positivity that shines through. A positivity which has enabled her to boldly reflect on complex, wonderful and sometimes frankly hilarious parts of her life for a series of fun but savvy books which have echoes of Eat Pray Love, Sex and the City and Four Weddings and a Funeral.Helen said: "The journey of writing these books has been so transformational because when I am writing, I feel as though I really am there while at the same time being able to reflect on situations and emotions I write about. And in some cases, remember as the words pour out."There have been times that I have cried and laughed, and those elements are all in the books"."The books are not autobiographical, but there is so much of myself and my own experiences in the characters."And the process of writing the books she said has fuelled and developed her soul and given her great joy.Between The Sheets is a fascinating read, full of love, drama, sex and intrigue, supported by strong female characters that give the work a sense of empowered authenticity.Helen said: "I love how my writing has connected my heart and mind to the past, made me more conscious of each day and allows my excitement of tomorrow to spill over on to the pages of my books. As a result of writing, I reconnected with amazing friends with whom, in some cases, I lost touch. One dear friend described my books as 'a magic carpet ride' that sparked a tear, a smile, and triggered thoughts she had forgotten all about. Touching other peoples' lives in positive ways matters to me. I will continue to live and write stories for others as well as myself. Living life is a privilege and one I embrace.
