Fighting Castro: A Love Story |
|
"Remarkable and stunning"
Kay Abella has captured the realities of life in Castro's
Cuba
with the precision of a great historian and the grace and eloquence of
a consummate novelist, bringing to life not only the central characters
in her narrative, but also an entire nation. A testament to the
resiliency of the human spirit, and a poignant reminder of the
suffering that ideologues can cause, this should be required reading
for the whole world, and especially for those who continue to think
highly of the so-called "achievements" of Fidel Castro or any other
despot.
- Carlos Eire, Professor, Yale University, Author of Waiting for
Snow in Havana, National Book Award

What happens when a Cuban doctor is imprisoned by Castro as a
resistance leader and his wife must choose between helping her husband
stay alive and staying with her young children? This dilemma is at the
heart of the harrowing true saga of Lino and Emy Fernandez. For
seventeen years. Lino fights against life-threatening cruelty and
attempted humiliation in prison while Emy tries to live with the
consequences of the decision she made.
