"If you love someone, he says, you don't look at anyone else. When you love someone, she says, you don't leave them."
The novel "The Tango Teacher" tells of a passionate love that threatens to fail, were it not for the Argentine tango. Let yourself be taken along on the emotional roller coaster ride of an on-off relationship that begins in Berlin's legendary "Tangoloft" - and experiences a dramatic low point there.
Can the tango unite the unequal couple in the long run? Or are the contrasts between the freedom-loving heroine and the ambitious tango teacher too great?
