I am reading
The Church of Tango by Cherie Magnus for France Book Tours. I'll post a review of this memoir in October. Here's the intro:
It was February, 1992, when I stood in my raincoat with my two suitcases in front of a locked courtyard gate in the 9th arrondissement. The airport taxi vanished, leaving me alone on the deserted street. The digicode I had brought from Los Angeles didn't unlock the big double doors of the eighteenth-century apartment building. What am I doing here? I wondered in a moment of panic. Am I completely crazy after a year of widowhood.
What do you think?

I can just picture that scene in my head too. It sounds like a promising start to a memoir. I would keep reading.
I like that intro... would definitely keep reading. Hope you enjoy the book!
I think that sounds like a book I could get into right away. kelley—the road goes ever ever on
I love the cover and am curious where the memoir will go from here. I'd read more.
thanks for sharing! and if one of your readers is interested in getting also a free copy to review it on their blog, there's 1 spot still available: http://francebooktours.com/2014/07/30/cherie-magnus-on-tour-the-church-of-tango/
Sounds good to me. I know some people that that happened to, that, or they couldn't find the person with the key who wouldn't answer their phone. It's a memoir? Maybe I will read it.
