I’m very grateful to my friend, Anna-Lisa Klettenberg, for introducing
me to tango and to Buenos Aires. Not only was she a wonderful tour guide back
then, she was unfailingly encouraging as I wrote my book, ‘The Closest Thing To
Crazy’, which is about how tango changes one for the better.
Anna-Lisa, pictured here, discovered tango way back when she had
immense challenges, and it sustained her. She’s still a fabulous dancer today.
I couldn’t have written this book without her.
About the book: The ultimate ‘It’s never too late’ story, showing that
both adventure and romance can be there for the taking – irrespective of the
age. This inspiring and charming tale tells of forty-something Eloise
Callaghan, turning her back on a way-too-safe existence to travel to Argentina
for tango lessons. It changes her life; and after surviving a kidnapping and a
reckless Argentinian romance (and that’s just for starters), she finally
realises that all this time the perfect man is back home. But will the planets
align?
After all the books on the market about women of a certain age finding
adventure in Mediterranean countries, The Closest Thing to Crazy switches the
action to South America. Eloise’s journey into the unknown forces her to face
her demons. And she finds it’s never too late to dive into the deep end, and
never too late for love.
