Chanel Cleeton follows the spectacular success of Next Year in Havana, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, with the sure-to-soar When We Left Cuba (Berkley, $16), continuing the saga of the exiled Perez sisters.
Bold, unconventional Beatriz makes a heroine for the ages, burning to avenge her losses, aid her homeland, and carve out a more independent role for herself than the conventional marriage and motherhood expected by her family. A charismatic American senator offers Beatriz the chance of love in a new home, but a shadowy CIA spy holds out the possibility of molding Cuba’s future, and Beatriz’s choice will resound through the ages. A thrilling story about love, loss, and what we will do to go home again.
