Welcome to Litsy!

I didn‘t like this one quite as much as Perla and Cantoras by the same author, but it‘s beautifully written historical fiction set it an interesting time period and place I don‘t know much about.

🎻 My final book of 2020 was The Gods of Tango! This book made me wish I knew how to play the violin, dance the tango, and that I could visit Argentina. Yet I also felt I got to do those things through the tale of Leda, as she navigated 1913 Buenos Aires away from her family for the first time. Read it!

Historical fiction about immigrants to Argentina and the rise of tango from music for the lowest classes to worldwide popularity. Beginning in 1913, it is the story of Leda‘s unexpected widowhood, her talent as a violinist, her living as a man so she can preform onstage, and her romantic relationships with women. 🌈 💗4/5 ⭐️

“ And all things conspire to keep silent about us , half out of shame perhaps, half as unutterable hope “ Rilke

Loved this book! Chronicles the limitations imposed on women as well as the suffering experienced because of it one hundred years ago and that still exist in some cultures, societies or families everywhere.

Deliciously inviting tale of a young woman's quest for independence and finding her true self. Top notch.
