When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton
4.0
Tonight, I looked at myself in the mirror, and it occurred to me that perhaps adulthood had come not with a white gown and veil thrust upon me against my wishes, but rather in this moment, with this decision to claim my womanhood, to use it to get what I want rather than what everyone else wants for me.
Tonight, I feel powerful.
A well paced, interesting, empowering read, set in a fascinating and incredibly tense corner of history, with a great heroine. I enjoyed this one more than Next Year in Havana. I was a bit disappointed that some aspects of the story were skipped over or glossed over, but overall I really enjoyed the read. I recommend this book.
