Product Overview

Impressive . . . [Cristina Garcas] 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 Garcas acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a countrys 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 a work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel Garca Mrquez (The New York Times).In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novels original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author.
