I loved the sultry sensuous feeling of being in Havana so much that reading about it makes me want to go there. A fascinating story with engaging themes
An impeccably researched and deftly written narrative that kept me hooked until the end
A great page-turner, which really captures Cuba's turbulent history. It's also a tender portrayal of how love can flourish in one's later years
