Structured like a sweeping, concerto-like dance, Remember the Tarantella weaves together the lives of twenty-six lesbian characters from various generations, backgrounds, and corners of the globe, with each woman representing a letter of the alphabet. At the heart of the swirling narrative is Iona, a taxi-driving narrator whose perspective anchors the collective experiences of her friends. Moving away from traditional, linear plots, the novel relies on private thoughts, rich dialogue, and a loose communal web to capture the essence of a vibrant 1980s sapphic culture. From the quiet mountains of Australia to far-flung international travels, the women navigate shifting alliances, political activism, internal conflicts, and romantic evolonies in a powerful celebration of female autonomy and queer survival.
