Summary: Gorgeous and Intelligent
Review: Dancing with Cuba is written by a woman who has experienced Cuba firsthand after the revolution. Her ability to write details is daunting, but this gift throws us into a life that most Americans have never experienced. I am a Cuban book collector and "Dancing with Cuba" and a Cuban picture book (for kids) set in Miami's Little Havana festival with an all Cuban cast,are my family's two favorites. I highly recommend this book for Cuba lovers.

Summary: don't bother
Review: The author continually contradicts herself in a way that makes you wonder if she really "remebers" being there at all. The conflict between what she describes and her analysis from her current point of view is so disturbing that I couldn't finish the book. It left me confused. I have spent much time in Cuban and have studied Cuban history and have read dozens of books of this type. This is only the second of which I have actually had to just give up on. The story of Cuba is drown in her self-pity and self-absorbed reflection into her personality flaws and insecurities. Too bad, it sounded like it was going to be such interesting adventure.

Summary: Girl meets revolution; changed forever
Review: This memoir is so nuanced and smart, it blows away 99 percent of the books written about Cuba's revolution.
