Very nice book. Story was very engaging. Always appreciate if the narrative is presented in an interesting was. The representation of Cuban history and culture was very much on point, drawing pictures and feeling made me, as a Reader, feel like I was in Cuba myself. The different perspectives of revolution were layer out in detail and deepened and discussed, not just tossed out there. The only problem i had is that I found the main female character to be a bit annoying.
