A vivid and funny first novel about three generations of a Cuban family divided by conflicting loyalties over the Cuban revolution, set in the world of Havana in the 1970s and '80s and in an emigre neighborhood of Brooklyn. It is a story of immense charm about women and politics, women and witchcraft, women and their men.

This book had some great character moments, and I thought the exploration of family relationships, love, and politics was interesting. However, I felt that some of the characterizations were heavy handed, stereotypical, and a little disappointing. The interlude about the amusement park husband was also just confusing and felt unnecessary.
