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.
