This story is told through the voices of two estranged sisters, one living in America and the other in Cuba. Both women are haunted by their fathers death and that of their mother's death when they were young. They eventually come together in Miami for a reconciliation.
This is a story about family, secrets uncovered, insights on memory, Cuban history, Cuban and Cuban American culture. A multi layered story, written with wonderful description, some magical realism and time moving back and forth.
