Two women, tempted by destiny. Two women chained to the wrong love story. United by Argentinian tango. Tarya and Rachel unite their stories and quests in a story of passion, wrong decisions and womanhood.
The Tango Chain by Linda MacDonald was unexpectedly deep in its take on life´s shortcomings and how we, as women, we can find together through our decisions, more or less inspired, especially when it comes to men. Rachel is besotten by a much older man, she names for privacy reasons ´Sam´. Taryn is newly retired, almost forgetting her ex, while trying to enjoy the stability of her new relationship.
The two stories are first told separately and the voices of two women are very individual. When their stories are meeting, in the passionate pace of the Argentinian tango, we still can distinctively hear them. Both, they are far from being perfect, or even likeable, hence, they feel authentic.
I definitely enjoyed the tango theme - that gives the pace of the story at a certain extent - but also the stories itself. Men and women, women and men, there is always so much to write and think about...
