This book is incredible! It is everything a book should be. It will take you to another place and another time. It will make you laugh and cry and think. Pablo Medina shares from deep crevices of his heart and delves into memories that can only be wrapped in his very soul while unveiling some very real universal truths. It was a true pleasure to read. Each word and sentence is saturated in a way only such a master poet could be capable of. Buy this one for friends and family and anyone who has ever lived anywhere other than the U.S., anybody who has ever yearned to go home, and for those who are not even sure where home is.

The book was brand new so there were no issues with condition and it arrived exactly on time. I had to purchase this book for a class. In the context of the class, it was an informative short book but not one that I would have read if it weren't for the class.

Pablo Medina's memoirs of growing up in Cuba are so engaging that the reader imagines he, too, has grown up on that tropical island in the 1950's.
