The exotic rhythms of Lloyd Jones' new novel move from the West Coast of New Zealand to Buenos Aires to Sydney; from the closing days of the First World War to the present time and back over a series of heart-wrenching journeys in between.
Taking his cue from the tango, Jones examines the possibility of a passion that must remain unfulfilled as it is required. This sensual new novel is a scintillating exposition on the ways some of us may fall in love.
