Synopses & ReviewsReview:“A NOVEL THAT MANAGES TO BE BOTH SHARP-WITTED AND ELEGIAC, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN AND FULL OF SURPRISES THROUGHOUT.” –JOAN SILBER Author of In My Other Life “Obejas relates the compelling and disquieting history of Judaism and anti-Semitism in Cuba amidst evocative musings on exile, oppression, inheritance, the unexpected consequences of actions both weak and heroic, and the unruliness of desire and love.” –Booklist (starred review) “Achy Obejas trains her poet’s eye and her journalist’s zeal on the ambiguities of exile, the disappointments of passionate love, and the fascinating 500-year story of Cuba’s hidden Jews. We won’t get anything as pat as a happy ending for our heroine, Alejandra, born with the Revolution, but the reader is guaranteed a magnificent journey.” –RAY SUAREZ The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer Author of The Old Neighborhood From the Hardcover edition. Synopsis:In knowing prose, Achy Obejas opens up the tempestuous history of Cuba and a fascinating world of exotic word play, rich history, and vibrant emotions of what it is to be Cuban and American, Catholic and Jewish.
