 The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba tells of the intersection of the Pulitzer-Hearst newspaper war, the Spanish-American War, and the US freeing Evangelina Cisneros from a Cuban prison. I enjoyed learning about this period in history, but found the book to feel more workmanlike than Chanel Cleeton's other novels. All the history content does not leave as much room for the romance that is often part of her stories. Read if you enjoy: books set in Cuba, American history, multiple narrators in one timeline
