Next Year in Havana: Reese's Book Club
The July pick for Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine Book Club. After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban-American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity--and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution. Arriving in Havana, Marisol comes face-to-face with the contrast of Cuba's tropical, timeless beauty and its perilous political climate. When more family history comes to light and Marisol finds herself attracted to a man with secrets of his own, she'll need the lessons of her grandmother's past to help her understand the true meaning of courage.

I love learning about a part of history through the eyes of fictional characters. Historical novels give us the human dimensions of emotion, romance, fear, and hope. Next Year in Havana doesn’t disappoint and the current day storyline is as fascinating as the late 1950’s storyline. I am hoping that her next novel, When We Left Cuba, will give even more insight into the rise and rule of Fidel Castro.
Such an easy yet thought-provoking read. The parallel emotions and points of view of the heroines drew me deeply into their trials and the difficulty of the decisions they made.
I loved this book! I’m a historical fiction fan. I loved learning about Cuba, a place we don’t know much about. Great read
