Fiction. Latino/ Latina Studies.The story of a family's saga from Cuba to the other America, Herrera's novel spans the waning years of Cuba's post-plantation, pre-Revolutionary period to the present. "This is a rare novel - a quest for origin and legitimacy, exquisitely written in language that draws on the mysterious forces of continuity and renewal.
