This beautiful novel is set in Cuba when it was a colonial outpost, and playground, for American companies. There’s drinking, philandering and violence, but also love and humor. A big, spirited book about a small world on the precipice of revolution. And Hemingway is there, too.

Vivienne says: “Swirl and twirl, float and free-fall through the tragic yet wild abandon of the heartbreaking life and death of Rudolf Nureyev. A full life, fully lived.
Judy Blume says: The best book I read last year and the most original and surprising. Highly recommended. Delicious.
James Gleick says: “An extraordinary love story, and a meditation on memory, identity, and time.”
