impeccably selected, immensely enjoyable memoir- THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
"The most marvellous book, perfect in every way. Not only beautifully written, the heart behind it leaps off every page. Moving and very, very funny. I was enchanted by it" - Carmen Callil
"I’ve just finished in two gulps this lovely homage to Argentina. Its lightness of touch is both deft and charming. The tango is the supreme dance of nostalgia and unquenchable longing, and so perfect for a return voyage of this kind." - Nicholas Shakespeare
"I read this book at a sitting and loved it. The tango structure is brilliant... devastating social detail and eye for a telling point. A vivid lens through which to see Argentina in a ramshackle era. Chatty and intimate." - Roy Foster
"I loved the tango threading through it like a distant drum-beat. A warming, exotic read. Riveting stuff, very atmospheric, especially his father’s kidnap, the hair- raising birth of an Argentine newspaper, plus recipes. I could have done with more of those." - Deborah Moggach
