My Mother in Havana

A daughter’s search for her deceased mother brings her face to face with the gods, ghosts, and saints of Cuba.   “ My Mother in Havana  lifts the veil between the living and the dead and makes believers of us all. This story of a mother's absence and a daughter's need is written with a lyricism that filled my heart with beauty while also making it ache for loved ones lost. This is a stunning debut.” — Lee Martin , author of the Pulitzer Prize Finalist, The Bright Forever
