A book I chose for my Storygraph Read Around the World 2023 prompt. I feel the comic style of this novel really helped to get its points across to the reader, especially the use of mainly black and white artwork with little hints of colour here and there. While the book was very straightforward in explaining the author's experiences and giving an insight into the state of Cuba at the time, because of my own lack of knowledge of world history I feel there were some points that I either missed or did not fully grasp. It has sparked my interest to learn more about Cuban history and the revolution.
