Cuba sits on the idea of a facade of hardworking men and the idea that Communism is a balanced and equal governing idea during the late 50's and 60's but if Arenas aims to point out anything in this novel it is that ignorance sure is bliss. The guts of Cuba is full of betrayal, deceit, and dishonesty layered with a sexual revolution that Castro and his sharks aim to seek and destroy. It's a shame Reinaldo Arenas is no longer with us...then again, his death might just be the necessary ingredient in order for his story to be complete, as tragic as it might be.

I knew it was going to be a wonderful book because I've read and or listened to other of her books. Oh my gosh I cried like Callie was my sister. I hate reading about death but this book is such a blessing for those how have gone through it. It also shows sibling love, best friend love, and a loving family. Great, great book.
