Havana Real: One Woman's Fight for Truth in Cuba Today

Yoani Sánchez's diary offers a candid and unflinching look at life under the Castro regime, revealing the everyday struggles and challenges faced by ordinary Cubans. From the difficulties of shopping to the art of repairing ancient appliances, Sanchez's writing provides a brutal and honest portrayal of Cuban life today.

Sanchez's courageous efforts to tell the truth have not gone unnoticed, with the state newspaper calling her a "spy in the pay of capitalism". Despite the risks, she continues to speak out for those who have been silenced, including friends in prison and those who have fled the country. This is a powerful and compelling account from an important new voice.
