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.
