Amor de tango

In "Amor de tango" María Xosé Queizán presents a novel that reconstructs the Vigo of the republic and Franco's repression through the memories of Margot, one of the protagonists. It is the novel of women who during the hopeful 20s and 30s were active girls, excited and determined to discover the world. It is the novel of the working women who woke up to life in that pioneering, Atlantic and liberal city that was Vigo before the war. It is the novel of the workers of the sardine factories that are closely linked to the industrial development of the city and the estuary. It is the novel of ocean liners, of salt factories, of the English Cable, of the great shipping companies, of emigration, of the Berbés. Vigo memory, intimacy, small and personal history and portraits built from an effective realism are the axes on which this beautiful and unforgettable story of Vigo and the women who populated it gravitates.
