February 1913: seventeen-year-old Leda, clutching a suitcase and her father’s cherished violin, leaves her small Italian village for a new home (and husband) halfway across the world in Argentina. Upon her arrival in Buenos Aires, Leda is shocked to find that her bridegroom has been killed. Unable to fathom the idea of returning home, she remains in this unfamiliar city, living in a commune, without friends or family, on the brink of destitution. She finally acts on a passion she has kept secret for years: mastering the violin. Leda is seduced by the music that underscores life in the city: tango, born from lower-class immigrant voices, now the illicit, scandalous dance of brothels and cabarets. Leda knows, however, that she can never play in public as a woman, so she cuts off her hair, binds her breasts, and, as a young man, joins a troupe of musicians bent on bringing tango into the salons of high society. As time progresses, the lines between Leda and her disguise will begin to blur, and feelings that she has long kept suppressed will reveal themselves, jeopardizing not only her music career but her life itself. With evocative scenery, prose suffused with the rhythms of the tango, and a deep, resonant core, De Robertis delivers her most accomplished novel yet.This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

The Gods of Tango is set in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 1913 to 1936. Seventeen-year-old Leda leaves Italy to travel to Buenos Aires in Argentina in 1913 to be with her new husband Dante Mateo. On her arrival, he is dead. She knows no-one and she has no money; she only has her grandfather’s violin. Should she stay or should she go? Her parents want her back home.Her love of music and the sounds of the tango entice her to stay in Buenos Aires: ‘the city could kill her, or it could remake her.’ But women are forbidden to play the violin in public, so she cuts her hair and dresses like a young man, called Dante, to join a group of tango musicians. This is her life as a man, as a person trying to survive in an unknown land, as she creates a new identity and a new life. How long could she keep her secret, and her life?This novel is not only about Leda’s life; it is about the rise and popularism of the dance of the tango. The rhythm of the tango is the underlying tempo and structure of the novel, from simple roots to evocative performances.
