This book seemed like it was trying to be too many things, which probably explained why I did not connect to it as strongly as I would have liked. That being said, I did still enjoy it and it was certainly worth reading. The Cuba & Cold War aspects were especially interesting. I particularly liked the strong women characters, especially Celia, and the acknowledgment of the underestimation of them by the male characters. 3.75/5 stars.

When I read a historical book I always expect to learn something. With this one I learned quite a bit. It's the first book I've read about The Cold War/The Cuban Missile Crisis... No that it goes into great detail about nuclear war or threats of war but about the prospect of it possibly happening. Also about a family secret that you may figure out before it's revealed. I'm sure the author intended that happen though.
I loved it.
