Dreaming in Cuban

â€œImpressive . . . [Cristina GarcÃaâ€™s] story is about three generations of Cuban women and their separate responses to the revolution. Her special feat is to tell it in a style as warm and gentle as the â€˜sustaining aromas of vanilla and almond,â€™ as rhythmic as the music of Beny MorÃ©.â€â€”Time
Â
Cristina GarcÃaâ€™s acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a countryâ€™s revolution and the revelations that follow. The lives of Celia del Pino and her husband, daughters, and grandchildren mirror the magical realism of Cuba itself, a landscape of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption. Dreaming in Cuban is â€œa work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel GarcÃa MÃ¡rquezâ€ (The New York Times).Â In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novelâ€™s original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author.
