Mango Tango

Mango Tango is a heart-warming tale of enduring friendship between two contrasting friends, but a bit different. The mango tree becomes a vivid symbol of the two friends strong companionship. The interaction between them and the warm embrace of a family is touching. The love, caring and devotion to the living tree opens up a surprising course of events; sometimes harrowing, and stressful, but quite life-changing, leading the characters to consider some of life s true values. A host of interesting characters present themselves. They are symphonic in their interrelatedness; often unpleasant and sometimes skeptical in tone and style, alternately rather comic whilst, all the while, the two friends continue to be determined in their frenetic passion and pre-occupation with the mango tree. But life is never smooth, especially with a demanding, erratic boss, work stress, illness, money and the usual everyday problems. Nonetheless, this is an exuberantly human story, anything but somber. It is a book to be enjoyed.
