A Cuban dancer meets an Australian historian, and a casual fling gradually becomes a love affair that transforms their lives. In this unforgettable memoir, John Foster recounts the life and death of his lover, Juan Cespedes. This unlikely love story takes in much of the twentieth century seen from the angle of the outsider - Juan is the refugee from oppression, the immigrant trying to make it, the early victim of a spreading plague. John is the sophisticate from a first-world culture, who fully embraces his unexpected love. This is the rarest of things - a book full of intelligence and laughter that tells of terrible events with intimacy and grace.
