Synopsis

n this sweeping epic, true love transcends the brutality of war. Octavio Ribeiro loves truth, beauty, literature, and above all else, his wife Salome. As a student in Chile, he courted her with the words of great poets, and she fell in love with his fierce intelligence and uncompromising passion. Then a sudden coup brings a brutal military dictatorship into power, and puts anyone who resists in grave danger. Salome begs Octavio to put his family's safety first, rather than speak against the new regime. When he refuses, it's Salome who pays the price. Belatedly awake to the reality of their danger, Octavio finds political asylum for the family in Sweden. But for Salome, the path back to love is fraught with painful secrets, and the knowledge that they can never go home again. Previously published as ISwedish TangoBR
