I thought CONTESSA was sheer magic. I couldn't put it down. If there ever were a book where you dared not stop reading, CONTESSA is it. I was vividly entertained and in the process learned a lot more than in many sociology, psychology and history courses I've taken. This book is a MUST read!

Contessa is the most touching book I have ever read. I was unable to put it down until i had finished it. I had gotton so emersed in the story that after I had finished it, it took another week to get over it. It affected me more than anything I had ever read before. This book gave me hope for my life! Her story is one of such success, in career and mainly in friendships. This is a truly wonderful story of overcoming extreme hatred and surviving through anything. Read it. It may open or change your mind, or at least allow you to understand!

I found Contessa to be a most entertaining book. It was difficult to put down because I became truly interested in the lives of Contessa and her friends. The book also paints a vivid portrait of pre Castro and present day Cuba.I think the book provides the perfect vehicle for a screen play and should be seriously considered by some Hollywood producer.

This book was fabulous. The author certainly knows his subject matter. I am looking forward to a film version of this book.
