I’ve learned so much Cuban history from this series of books. I love books that give me a glimpse of different cultures, the people and their struggles.
“In this powerful, page-turner, Chanel Cleeton has interwoven the stories of three unforgettable historical women against the fiery backdrop of the Spanish-American war (1895-1898) and the Cuban fight for freedom from the Spanish. Using the brave acts of real-life historical women as inspiration, The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba shines the light on the fierce women who played a critical role in this important juncture in time -- women who are determined not to be forgotten."
— Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Mystery of Mrs. Christie

Edit: Thinking back, the story is too broken up for my taste. After acquainting myself with Cleeton's writing style some more, I might give it another go, but it wasn't a hit for me this first time around.
I originally gave 4 stars because the first 1/3 of the book didn't lure me in as much as I could've wished for. Part of that is probably because this is the 4th book in the series, but I only found out today..
I might give it another chance when I've read its prequels.
