It is a story of immense charm about women and politics, women and witchcraft, women and their men. \nImpressive . . . Cristina Garc a'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 .--Time \n Cristina Garc a's acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a country'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.

In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novel's original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author. \n \nPraise for Dreaming in Cuban \n \n Remarkable . . . an intricate weaving of dramatic events with the supernatural and the cosmic . . . evocative and lush.--San Francisco Chronicle \n \n Captures the pain, the distance, the frustrations and the dreams of these family dramas with a vivid, poetic prose.--The Washington Post \n \n Brilliant . . .
