In Bailemos cuando den las diez, Ines, the protagonist, seeks a niche in the world, but she is handicapped by her upbringing and cultural traditions. Vilches's novel presents a very rich literary fabric that combines artfully with elements of popular culture. Bailemos should be a great contribution to fiction published in Spanish in the United States.
