I’d love to move to Buenos Aires and immerse myself again in tango.
I’ll try harder this time, because once you’ve got the hang of it, tango can
make life sublime (just ask Eloise, the character in my book ‘The Closest Thing
To Crazy’).
And if your feet give out, there’s so much to do in Buenos Aires.
Here’s me on the balcony of Casa Rosada from where Eva Peron enthralled fans in
the square below.
This photo was taken by Anna-Lisa Klettenberg, the friend who
introduced me to the best dance in the world, aka tango, which inspired my
book.
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.
