For Australian author Cate Kennedy the dice rolls and she finds herself in small town Mexico. So begins a compelling journey where her life becomes inextricably intertwined with those of Mexican farmers and their families. From a hilarious evening at a disco, to a fifteenth birthday party where dancing to the Bee Gees is mandatory, to a joyous wedding reception in a hot, dusty backyard and quiet moments of hardship, grief and loss, the Mexican gusto for celebration, pilgrimage and family challenges her to confront the big issues in life. Vividly evoked and beautifully written Sing, and Don't Cry is funny, warm, yet ultimately disarming.
