Book Reviews of Dreaming in Cuban
Book Review: Ilove it.
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is about 3 generations of the Del Pino family. It tells about each members' relationships with each other and the world. I love how the novel comes full circle in the 2nd half of the novel where you can't help but love each and every character as their own sides of the stories (story) unfold. It totally makes you love, hate and realize truths of your own family all at once. I heart this novel very, very much.
Summary of Dreaming in Cuban
"Remarkable...An intricate weaving of dramatic events with the supernatural and the cosmic...Evocative and lush...A rich and haunting narrative, an excellent new voice in contemporary fiction."SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Now available in a Spanish language edition from Ballantine Books.
Here is the dreamy and bittersweet story of a family divided by politics and geography by the Cuban revolution. It is the family story of Celia del Pino, and her husband, daughter and grandchildren, from the mid-1930s to 1980. Celia's story mirrors the magical realism of Cuba itself, a country of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption. DREAMING IN CUBAN presents a unique vision and a haunting lamentation for a past that might have been.
