THE DRESDEN TANGO: Love and redemption after suffering

By Kevin O’Regan

THIS IS A STORY BASED ON HISTORICAL TRUTH THAT WILL IMMERSE THE READER IN A CONVINCING PAST, INDUCING TEARS OF SORROW AND ANGER, BUT FINALLY BRINGING HOPE. AFTER SUFFERING.

It is 1889. A ship is bound for Buenos Aires, Argentina, laden with Irish migrants escaping the poverty of their homeland.
Two travel together on the voyage but are separated when they arrive. Rose is nineteen, a seamstress whose hopes of a better life are dashed when she finds herself trapped in a brothel, forced by the ruthless madam to endure the daily abuse of clients. Patrick is a young priest, ambitious to do great deeds, but the demands of leading hundreds of migrants in a barren land nearly break him. When the two meet again in Buenos Aires, they recognise in each other the despair that fills them and the need for their self-worth to be restored. Can Rose trust Patrick to take her out of her hell? Can Patrick find in her the love that will give balm to his damaged soul?

"I read the manuscript in less than two days. This wasn't due to any urgency but because I found the stories of the two main characters so compelling."
Fred Lockwood (author of the Jack Collier series)

"The book is very readable. I found the voices of the two narrators convincing and I cared about them. The minor characters are very well drawn; Canon Peter is a wonderful creation. There were many superbly narrated scenes, such as the rolling of the dice in Chapter Seven."
Patrick Sanders

"I love this book, Kevin. I felt so many emotions on reading it: tears, sadness, anger and something close to the power of Spirit even in the worst moments."
