Heart of Tango, is a novella set (mostly) in Buenos Aires. A beautiful book: like the Goldsmith's Secret this is a romance, and is full of uncontrollable emotions felt by a couple facing separation. However Barcelo also weaves in a bit of mystic time travel, a beautiful painter of a couple dancing tango, and a cold night in Innsbruck where two people come together to forget their troubles in dance. I love Strictly Come Dancing when the professionals do the Argentinian tango, and this book has all the passion of those dances. Recommended! ( )

Aan alle mannen en vrouwen die ooit de magie

Aan alle mannen en vrouwen die de liefde zoeken.
