The book is amezing.The words,the experience wow. It's more emotional and moreover I feel like it was my biography actually
Interesting look into Cuban history as well as modern Cuba. Honestly, I don't know much about the topic, so I read it as a first foray. I took everything with a pretty big grain of salt and tried to understand that for so many people, emotions on this topic run deep. My issues with the book were the pacing of the romance and how the author tried to address every perspective every time. It often felt like, "well, one group feels this way *sage nodding* but another group feels this way *sager nodding* and I just have a lot of feelings". It definitely kept everybody but one of the characters out of trouble. Very middle-of-the-road. And that's how I'd describe this book as a whole. Very middle-of-the-road.
I can't believe how emotional this made me.
The dual timeline and how it all clashes into one point. Just wow. This was a wonderful story.
