Title: Not a nice place to visit -or live there
Product review: Smith uses his elegance with the language to capture both the corruption and corrosion of today's Havana - and he does it with an intriguing story that's totally believable. Humour, too, adds to the story-telling, as does the hyperbole (the potholes on Havana streets can be seen from the moon)all of which keep you riveted until the final page. Great stuff in the tradition of Graham Green and John LeCarre.
