Book Reviews of Tango: An Argentine Love Story

Book Review: Writing Hands, Dancing Feet speaks
Summary: 5 Stars

I am the author and I am taking the unprecedented liberty of adding this review---to counter the above "review" that is really a complaint about Amazon, which I have asked Amazon to remove, and they have not. I waited a year and a half to look at these reviews and I'm happy to say "thank you" from the bottom of my heart to everyone of you who took the time and effort to leave your good words. Thanks, Daniel, for inserting one of my favorite quotes---about Mother Theresa---and for the observations about what a great read the book can be. I'm humbled. Thanks to Faith! Great to meet in person. To Grace, Dana, Carol, Peter, and all of you, I am grateful. Yes, a memoir is by definition self-indulgent, self-revealing. You're spot on, kind reviewer. Mine is, by turns, also, self-deprecating, Self-denying, self-flagellating, self-recriminating, self-fulfilling, self-satisfying . . . but no one can accuse me of self-aggrandizing. Let me end with the wonderful endorsement I received from bestselling author, Sylvia Boorstein (Happiness is an Inside Job): "TANGO is a remarkable addition to contemporary dharma literature. It reads like a romance, a thriller, and above all it shows the redemptive potential of a sincere spiritual practice.

Summary of Tango: An Argentine Love Story

Overwhelmed with the pain of a failed fifteen-year relationship, Camille Cusumano wanted badly to escape her life and heal her emotional wounds. After a violent encounter with her ex?s new girlfriend, Camille decided she had some serious soul-searching to do. She took off for Buenos Aires intending to stay a few short weeks, but when her search for inner peace met with her true passion of tango, she realized she?d need to stay in Argentina indefinitely.

Tango is a memoir of falling in love with a country through the dance that embodies intensity, freedom, and passion ? all pivotal to Camille?s own process of self-discovery. From the charm of local barrios to savory empanadas, Camille whole-heartedly embraces the ardent culture of Argentina, and soon a month-long escape turns into a year-long personal odyssey. Slowly letting go of her grief through a blend of tango, Zen, and a burgeoning group of friends, Camille discovers that her fierceness and patience can exist in harmony as she learns how to survive in style when love falls apart.
