Your Heart, My Sky: Love in a Time of Hunger by Margarita Engle

3.0

A short, emotional YA book in verse about two young people falling in love during a time of famine in early 90’s Cuba. I don’t know much about Cuba’s history, which I’m trying to rectify. It’s especially sad given that I’m half-Cuban - I have this whole huge part of my heritage that I’m missing. Books like this help me learn - not just the history, but the emotional people-centered truth that gets left out of traditional history books.
