On a wintry Thursday night in San Francisco, Susana
ChAvez-Silverman catches her first glimpse of a handsome stranger
through the window as he passes the infamous Balboa Cafe. She knows
immediately he is the man of her dreams. His eyes meet hers, he
turns and enters the bar . . . Their attraction was intense, but
the social and political climate of South Africa, still in the grip
of apartheid, threatened to tear them apart. Describing the
vicissitudes of the Latina migratory experience, ChAvez-Silverman
struggles to overcome the hostility of a place that is so
unwelcoming to nonwhite persons and outsiders. Heartthrob, a love
story for the ages, implores us to consider how things could have
been. In these romantic crOnicas based on detailed diary entries
and confessional letters to family and friends, ChAvez-Silverman
weaves together English and Spanish to lay bare the raw intensity
and true fragility of love. Anyone who has wondered about
the-one-that-got-away or sought out the true meaning of
happily-ever-after will be enraptured by this intimate exploration
of love, loss, and regret.
