this book is equal parts funny and serious, moving at a very fast pace; there are some deeply disturbing moments and some moments that feel like pure joy and love, a little chaotic. it is an interesting metaphorical and literal exploration of the impact of the Cuban revolution on one specific family, how the choices each person makes leads the family to be divided across continents, across beliefs, across political affiliations but also, how when we really see each other, our connections carry us through and leave us loving each other even harder 

i really wish i would have known this is a follow-up to Gracía’s novel, Dreaming in Cuban; i think i would have enjoyed it even more. so here’s my PSA to read Dreaming in Cuban first
