Summary: A wonderful book about connecting to a culture
Review: This is a somewhat autobiographical novel of a young American teenager who travels to Spain to learn how to play flamenco guitar like the gypsies in Andalusia. Dorien Ross is passionate and in turmoil about attempts to become immersed into the world of flamenco guitarist families and culture. The novel describes her research into the best music, her attachment to the life of the village, her search for the excitement and passion of gypsy life and flamenco guitar. Charming, poignant, emotional. For anyone who has ever fallen in love with another culture, this book will really ring true
