Description
In contemporary New Jersey, Ramon is visited by the irreverent ghost of his long-missing aunt Marisol, whose disappearance during the Cuban Revolution has left a silence at the heart of their family. Urged to uncover the truth, he begins a tangled investigation into generations of upheaval, imprisonment, sacrifice, and survival—one that draws him into romance and dangerous encounters along the way. Moving between past and present, this haunting, richly layered novel explores migration, political violence, memory, forgiveness, and the enduring bonds that shape a family’s identity. With vivid prose and a bold blend of history, magical realism, and contemporary storytelling, it portrays the costs of revolution and the difficult, liberating search for truth.
