Unable to return home, alone, and on the brink of destitution, she finds herself seduced by the tango, the dance that underscores every aspect of life in her new city. Knowing that she can never play in public as a woman, Leda disguises herself as a young man to join a troupe of musicians. In the illicit, scandalous world of brothels and cabarets, the line between Leda and her disguise begins to blur, and forbidden longings that she has long kept suppressed are realized for the first time. Powerfully sensual, \u003ci\u003eThe Gods of Tango\u003c\/i\u003e is an erotically charged story of music, passion, and the quest for an authentic life against the odds.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarolina De Robertis, a writer of Uruguayan origins, is the author of two previous novels, \u003ci\u003ePerla\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e (a Best Book of 2009 according to the \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle; O, The Oprah Magazine;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e), and the recipient of Italy's Rhegium Julii Prize and a 2012 fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
