<b>€œImpressive . . . [Cristina Garc­a€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 €˜sustaining aromas of vanilla and almond,€ as rhythmic as the music of Beny Mor©.€€"<i>Time</i></b><br>  <br> Cristina Garc­a€s acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a country€s revolution and the revelations that follow.
