    It doesn't feel like reading a book
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016*

There is nothing more stunning than a Carolina de Robertis novel.  I don't generally read "literary fiction."  But her stories have a way of wrapping themselves around me, drawing me in, and the characters are so vividly drawn that they yank at my heart.  It doesn't feel like reading a book, it feels like watching a life unfold.  There were times when I was impatient because the story is somewhat predictable (as soon as Leda puts on men's clothes, you wait for the moment when s/he's exposed), but the gorgeousness of the prose kept calling me back in. I highlighted so many sentences just so I could go back and read them over and over again, I marvel at the beauty of her language, lines like, "Music, arrow to pierce all barriers.  Music, invader of centuries.  Nectar of demons, whiskey flask of God."  or "Lust, after all, was a prismatic thing, refracting differently with different women."  I never feel like she's trying to be highbrow, but more letting the words spill out to create an irresistible rhythm.  A thrill.

    Absolutely authentic historical novel set in the rise of the Argentine tango
  

*by L***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2016*

A tiny part of Gods of Tango is a Lesbian love story. A big part of it is a historical novel, which vividly brings to life the harsh lives of immigrants to Buenos Aires in the early part of the Twentieth Century. The biggest part is the evolution of a budding violinist into a world-class Argentine tango musician.One problem I had with the book is the discursions of de Robertis into the lives of ancillary characters, few of whom I found interesting. I understand the impulse: to give a more three-dimensional feel for the complex urban realities of BsAs of the time. But I had to skim and skip them to return to the character who really interested me: Leda.

    This book is my soulmate.
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2015*

I cannot describe how much I love this book. I am generally not too impressed with most books I read, I guess I am looking for a lot out of something I put so much time into. I picked it up knowing almost nothing about it and it read fantastically that way, so I won't say much here except not only was I hooked from the first page because of the author's fantastic writing, but I was so satisfied throughout the book as I learned tons from a historical perspective, dived into the psychology and experience of many a truly fascinating character, and was thrilled at every turn by the tension and uniqueness of the events that unfolded. I have not had a favorite book since I was a preteen, but this is my favorite book now. I am making every one of my book clubs read this whether they like it or not. I can't imagine someone not liking - nay, LOVING - this book. High praise from a hyper-critic. Thank you Carolina De Robertis!
