When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton

4.0

Cleeton's writing is much better here than in Next Year in Havana. There was a lot of telling, not showing, in that book. When We Left Cuba is a gripping spy novel and a female-driven historical fiction story at the same time. Beatriz is constantly having to choose between loyalties and loves, and it was fun to see how that all came together against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
