Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this 1958 satire poking fun at the British Secret Services.

I feel two ways about this book. On the one hand, I really enjoyed learning about Cuban history and culture. It was fascinating, insightful, inspiring, and educational. On the other hand, the romances in the plot did not work for me at all (or anyone else in my book club). So the conceptual parts about history and culture were fantastic, but the basic plot parts were pretty rough. A mixed bag!

"As exiles, that hope is embedded in the very essence of our soul, taught from birth--
Next year in Havana--
It's the #toast we never stop saying, because the dream of it never comes true"

September selection for #12booksof2023

Next Year in Havana is a love story. It‘s not just a romantic story of people falling in love, it‘s a story about one‘s love of country, culture, history, and family. Chanel Cleeton delivered a fascinating first book to The Cuba Saga series.

The cover is gorgeous, the story was compelling. As usual, since it was almost a year ago, the details are fuzzy but this was my best book in #February2023 for the #12BooksofChristmas. @Andrew65
