In September to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we will be reading and discussing Dreaming in Cuban by Cristina Garcia!
Here is the dreamy and bittersweet story of a family divided by politics and geography by the Cuban revolution. It is the family story of Celia del Pino, and her husband, daughter and grandchildren, from the mid-1930s to 1980. Celia’s story mirrors the magical realism of Cuba itself, a country of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption. DREAMING IN CUBAN presents a unique vision and a haunting lamentation for a past that might have been.
Physical copies can be requested for pickup. If you have any questions, please email southend@bpl.org
We will meet in-person at FoMu Ice Cream at 2:00 pm for an hour-long book discussion. Purchases are encouraged but not required.
