Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton

4.0

Enchanting and loving, Next Year in Havana gives us a glimpse at a world that most of us will never understand. Havana in the late 1950s and Havana of now. The causes, the reasons, the struggles of living under Batista, fighting for or against him, living under Fidel, fighting for him, then against him, and living under such a regime's as both of those men. Elisa’s life and struggles as she falls for a revolutionary for Fidel against her family's beliefs. Marisol’s life and struggles with her grandmother’s death as she discovers the secrets of her grandmother and her family in Cuba even as she too falls for a revolutionary against Fidel. It was a beautifully written story.
