Steve is an American in Berlin and a man in crisis. He has reached a stage in his expatriate existence where he feels only frustration – with his work, with his milieu, with his life. The only thing he takes real joy in is tango dancing. It is while cultivating this passion one evening that he makes the acquaintance of Sonja, an enigmatic woman who is suffering a similar malaise. Steve plunges into an affair with her. But what begins as an erotic adventure turns into a frenzy of emotion that he never thought possible. Set against the backdrop of present-day Berlin, this novel is a story of desire and the search for love within a traditional form – but in a time when Facebook, smartphones and Internet dating sites chaperone the mating dance.weiterlesen
