"Dreaming in Cuban" reads a lot like a book by Marquez or Allende. The novel focuses on the lives of 3 women from a Cuban family, each telling a story from their perspective. 3.5 stars.

one thing I enjoyed about this book was the many perspectives that came through. I found the ending was a little flat for me.

Pretty nice.
Glad I finally get to experience one Latin American writer that does not disappoint me.
Her writing in English somehow manages to flow with the peculiarities of Spanish. (I don't exactly know how to explain that...)
The magical realism elements were perfectly subtle and surely helped craft one bittersweet Cuban family saga.

Need to re-read this one, but I remember that after I read it I looked for her name every time I went into a bookstore.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
