The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love by Oscar Hijuelos

4.0

This is a very sad but beautiful tale of memory, desire, longing, music, love, and family. I found it a little slow to start (not painfully so, just enough for me to think "Really, a Pulitzer for this?" But it really picked up about halfway through, with some really stunning passages. I suspect this one will stick with me.
