![]() ![]() One thing is certain when you finish reading this book, Havana will seem less of a mystery and you'll definitely want to visit Cuba and soak up all its history first hand.īook Club Talking Points: 1950s Cuba is fascinating to read about. For me, the historical fiction story edged out the present day story, but not by much. The other shows present day Cuba as Marisol returns there to discover her roots and uncover the secrets of the grandmother who raised her. It follows Eliza, born into privilege, and part of Cuba's high society as she falls in love with a revolutionary. The first is a glimpse into old Cuba, corrupt and politically tense. There are two storylines, one in the late 1950s and the other present day. This book is atmospheric and subtly draws you in with wonderful characters and beautiful descriptions of Cuba. It's about the internal strife and conflicts in revolutionary Cuba but it's also a love story filled with family drama. ![]()
