The Distant Marvels by Chantel Acevedo
4.0
A book that starts in the 1960's and gives the history of Cuba through the eyes of Maria Sirena (now at the end of her life) as she shelters with other women during a hurricane.
Maria Sirena is known for her storytelling skills and so she distracts the women by telling her history which is the history of Cuba and the revolution to achieve freedom from Spain.
I like the way the story weaves the past and the present and the other women's stories add just enough to the storyline.
