Ergebnis für "Tango One" in Liebesromane

In the beginning, Giulietta wants only to get closer to the music, to experience how the rhythm of the tango will move her ballet dancer’s body. But then she meets Damián, the Argentinean dancer whose energy and power captivate her from the moment she first sees him dance. They embark upon a torrid affair, in which their passion for each other is matched only by their passion for the dance. Yet when Damián begins sabotaging his own performance with bizarre, improvised choreography, Giulietta can no longer ignore the signs that something is terribly wrong.

February 1913: seventeen-year-old Leda, carrying only a small trunk and her father's cherished violin, leaves her Italian village for a new home, and a new husband, in Argentina. Arriving in Buenos Aires, she discovers that he has been killed, but she remains: living in a tenement, without friends or family, on the brink of destitution. Still, she is seduced by the music that underscores life in the city: tango, born from lower-class immigrant voices, now the illicit, scandalous dance of brothels and cabarets.
