A fast-moving story of Cuba, of love and intrigue and of a young man's compulsion to invade the country of his mother's birth.
A father and son, desperate to shake off the grief of loving and losing someone close to them, go on a sailing odyssey to the Caribbean. The son becomes captivated by a child-like beauty only recently escaped from Cuba. She pleads with him to smuggle her back in ... to destroy what she left behind.
Excerpt
“I worry that I will not get all this down, that before I am able to do so I will run out of either paper or life. In my current state of mind, I view the former with as much tragedy as I do the latter, since there would then be no way of telling the why of what happened, what it was that motivated Nicola and me--you see, we were pushed by separate demons.”
