When she began writing her autobiography, Mary Li gave what she had written to her daughter Sophie to read. “I wrote the first bits and pieces and she typed it all up for me,” Mary recalls. “She was laughing hysterically about things from my childhood in Rockhampton and I’d be saying … that’s all true! That’s what really happened! She thought it was hilarious and when I heard that laughter I thought – I’ll write more of that.”
Mary, wife of Queensland Ballet artistic director and best-selling author Li Cunxin, had her own story to tell. That book, Mary’s Last Dance, is out on Tuesday and will be launched by Queensland Governor, the Honourable Paul de Jersey, at a function at Government House in Brisbane followed by a major event at Brisbane Powerhouse the following week.
