Title: Boring!
Review: As a Cuban-American I was looking forward to reading this book and suggested it to my Book Club as our next selection. In summary, we found the book to be historically and culturally inaccurate (there are no torillas in Cuba*!). The characters are one-dimensional and unsympathetic and the storyline slow and plodding. It did nothing to inform and educate its readers about the Cuban War of Independence. If I hadn't been reading it for my book club I would have given up after Chapter One.*In Cuba the term "tortilla" refers to egg omelettes not the typical tortilla eaten in Mexico and Centeral America. The author clearly makes references to the Mexican type of tortillas in the first chapter of the book. She should have done her homework! This reference caused me to question the rest of the research done for the book.
