Loving Che by Ana Menéndez

2.0

I'm pretty meh on this book. I liked learning a little more about Che (did you know his first name is Ernesto?), but most of that was on my own time and not through this novel. Basic plot: an orphaned woman receives letters from her mother (?) which tell her she is Che Guevara's daughter. Are the letters true? She goes on a wild goose chase to Cuba to find out. We never really know, and it's unclear what this means for us about Che. The thing that saved the book I think were the kind of poetic (possibly over-the-top) reminiscing letters at the beginning.
