Fiction
Octavio Ribeiro is a rising movie star in Chile when, at the
request of famed poet Pablo Neruda, he agrees to serve as a
media trainer in the presidential campaign of Salvador
Allende. This involvement exposes Octavio and his family --
especially his wife, Salomé -- to the ruthless kidnapping
and terror tactics of Allende's political rival, General
Augusto Pinochet...until they escape to political exile in
Sweden, where another couple -- Samuel and Kaija Rudin --
are also living as expatriates. Dr. Rudin is a psychiatrist specializing in treating people
who, like Salomé, have been traumatized by the events of war
and upheaval. As the Rudins and Ribeiros dance with destiny,
each family must confront the secrets they have kept from
one another -- and face the personal consequences of their
political choices. Rich with historical detail, and written
in shimmering prose, Swedish Tango is an epic tale of two
cultures that no reader will soon forget.
