Dreaming in Cuban

€œImpressive . . . [Cristina Garc­a€s] story is about three generations of Cuban women and their separate responses to the revolution. Her special feat is to tell it in a style as warm and gentle as the €˜sustaining aromas of vanilla and almond,€ as rhythmic as the music of Beny Mor©.€€"Time
 
Cristina Garc­a€s acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a country€s revolution and the revelations that follow. The lives of Celia del Pino and her husband, daughters, and grandchildren mirror the magical realism of Cuba itself, a landscape of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption. Dreaming in Cuban is €œa work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel Garc­a M¡rquez€ (The New York Times). In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novel€s original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author.
