Dreaming in Cuban

â‚¬Å“Impressive . . . [Cristina GarcÂaâ‚¬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 â‚¬Ëœsustaining aromas of vanilla and almond,â‚¬ as rhythmic as the music of Beny MorÂ©.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Time
Â
Cristina GarcÂaâ‚¬s acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a countryâ‚¬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 â‚¬Å“a work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel GarcÂa MÂ¡rquezâ‚¬Â (The New York Times).Â In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novelâ‚¬s original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author.
