When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton

4.0

I will definitely be checking out more of the Perez family’s stories! Really enjoyed the author’s writing & attention to the historical, cultural, & social details of the era. The time frame (the Cuban Revolution & Cuban Missile Crisis) is not well known to me and led to lots of googling to learn more about the events that transpired, which was very interesting. The book offers a lot: history, romance, espionage, suspense.

I missed a very small part that made a HUGE difference in the story and had to go back to re-listen a bit. Once I got everything sorted out it was smooth sailing. Wouldn’t expect that problem actually reading the book either; I was probably a bit distracted while listening.
