DESCRIPTION:
Tango as a metaphor for life, love, and ultimate fulfillment. False arrests, Cornish moors, the London art scene, the sybaritic South of France, Los Angeles, New York, and Buenos Aires at night — does all this add up to the ultimate tango prize?Juan-Miguel Rodriquez, raised by his grandparents in Madrid after his English father is suddenly widowed in New York, is drawn into the internatioonal world of tango with its exotic cast of characters.
"A great sequel to The Castilian Suite" according to PaulP. A great sequel to The Castilian Suite, which if you haven't read I totally recommend you read first, then have this to pick up right after you finish the Suite as you'll be wanting to keep reading, it is so wonderfully written. I am not a tango dancer but I certainly got the feel of this sensual, vibrant dance.Couldn't put the book down, and now, like when I finished The Castilian Suite, I want more!. "Like I was dance with all of the partners" according to Tara Ryan. BRAVO!!! A fabulous novel describing the true essence of the tango world. It brought me right there! Like I was dance with all of the partners. Surprisingly it grabbed me from the first page. I couldn't put it down! Loved the story! Loved the characters! Sequel?. "Recommended." according to Deanoism. Characters that crackle with comic inevitability, each with their own desperate need. Blackburn pulls off a lithe tale on an undulating chessboard with mad precision. Recommended.
