I liked this book just as much as I enjoyed Next Year In Havana. Beatriz was more firey than her sister Eliza and I appreciated that this book didn't go back and forth between the past and present. The same things that I found annoying with Havana I found here. Too much description not enough action. Too much politics not enough thrill. I do enjoy the Perez family and the characters, so we'll see if I follow the author. Thanks First to read for the galley in exchange for an honest review.
