Letters from Cuba by Ruth Behar

5.0

This is one of the most wholesome and touching WWII novels I have ever read. I loved that so much attention was put into telling the stories of not just Esther and her family, but the many other immigrant stories of people in Cuba as well. The character interactions were incredibly heartwarming, and while I appreciated that the author didn't shy away from the hardships they faced, I particularly enjoyed that the book focused on family, culture, and the friendships developed along the way.
