The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez

3.0

This book immediately caught my attention since I didn't know much about the mass exodus from Cuba during the regime of Castro. The plot was quite simple and easy to follow but at times I thought the writing was a bit childish, and taxing because of its simplicity. I had to remind myself that it was written from the perspective of a 15 yesr old. Overall I thought that it was an interesting read, and has prompted me to find out more about this time period in history and the relationship between USA/Cuba.
