Tangerine Tango is a collection of writings spanning the entire citrus spectrum, from sour to sweet. Edited by Lisa K. Winkler, who has never been ‘a basic beige sort,’ these colorful slices of life are sad, nostalgic, and humorous.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Small Treasure October 23, 2012

By Lanny Weintraub

Format:Paperback

Once you start reading.you will have a hard time putting it down. This little book is a wonderful read - little slices of life told from a woman's perspective with humor and wit and pathos. It would be hard not to see yourself and smile as you fly from chapter to chapter. And I loved the fact that the book was small enough and light enough to fit comfortably in my purse so I could take it with me to pick up and read when I had a few free minutes.

By sharil

Format:Paperback

This little book contains wonderful snippets of life from a great collection of authors who know how to bring back memories for the reader. I found myself remembering many happy, funny and even sad times in my life as I read through these poems and stories. I have already bought several more copies to give as gifts this year.

What an amazing collection of female voices about life- our struggles, moments of joy and repose and even celebration. The collection of essays and poetry makes one realize that we all have a voice and sharing this through Tangerine Tango makes a community with fellow travelers.
