The Gods of Tango by Caro De Robertis
4.0
Three things:
1. Do the scars of leaving your homeland pass down generations? Do immigrants live their whole lives, even in the best of circumstances, missing home?
2. Is having someone/s to honestly share your whole story with an almost necessary part of being a human?
3. "an obsession not with death, but with narrating your own life, because if you don't script your own way once and for all, your story will be written by someone else, and your actions will be guided by other people's dreams of who you should be rather than by the bright jagged thing you really are."
