The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba
by Chanel Cleeton
The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba is the fourth novel in Chanel Cleeton’s Cuba Saga series. Inspired by true events, this expertly choreographed instalment follows Grace Harrington, Marina Perez & Evangelina Cisneros in their intertwining narratives during the fight for Cuba’s independence from Spain in the late nineteenth century.
This story feels less like women’s fiction and more like political literature than previous books. While expertly researched, in order to properly articulate the gravity of Cuba’s oppression, the beginning unfolds rather slowly and much like a history lesson. However, the vibrancy and authenticity of the characters is well worth the wait.
Even, or perhaps because of, the heavy subject matter Cleeton always delivers on her strong, inspiring, female heroines. They are as compelling as they are unforgettable.
