A magical new novel “of loss and love across more than a century of Cuba’s past.”(Chicago Sun-Times)
Alone in a city that haunts her, far from her family, her history, and the island she left behind, Cecelia seeks refuge in a bar in Little Havana where a mysterious old woman’s fascinating tale keeps Cecelia returning night after night. Her powerful story of long-vanished epochs weaves the saga of three families from far-flung pieces of the world whose connection forms the kind of family that Cecelia has long been missing—one cast from legendary, unbreakable love. As Cecelia falls under the story’s heady sway, she discovers the source of the visions that plague her, and a link to the past she cannot shake.
“Passionate...satisfying.”
—Chicago Sun- Times
“A rich, moving, musical novel.”
—Locus magazine
“[An] ambitious novel.”
—Sun-Sentinel
“Rich, satisfying…this work is an absolute delight.”
—Library Journal
