Description
The Sugar Island is a deeply personal and worldly tale that explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships in 1960s Cuba. With economical prose and a clear-eyed vision, Ivonne Lamazares evokes lives full of hope but fraught with obstacles.
The story follows Tanya, a girl at odds with her mother and the rapidly changing world around her, as they navigate the aftermath of Castro's revolution. Their embattled relationship is set against the backdrop of a country in conflict with itself, where the old world chafes against the new and freedom comes at a dire cost.
This powerful novel presents a poignant portrayal of a parent's desperate grab for freedom and its consequences for her child, making for a compelling and thought-provoking read.
