Customer Reviews

An amazing teacher writes as well as he inspires

Rafael Lima was my screenwriting teacher in Miami. We never had the opportunity to read what he had written -- until now. This book shows he has as much passion and insight for his own topics as he did for ours in the classroom. Thank you for this poignant glimpse into the life of a Cuban-American!

touching

A beautifully written and poigniant account of a return to Cuba. Vivid. Wonderfully crafted. Eloquent and insightful. He speaks what every immigrant who lives away from his homeland thinks. Bravo!!

A terrific book; not only for Cuban-Americans

This book is soulful and genuinely heartfelt. An emotional adventure without a dull moment from beginning to end. The writing is beautifully descriptive without over-doing it, and allows you to "see" Cuba, past and present, vividly through the author's eyes. The book is not long, but with every word used so skillfully, it need not be.
