Reese Witherspoon describes this as "A beautiful novel that's full of forbidden passions, family secrets and a lot of courage and sacrifice."

The narrative spans two time periods, connecting the lives of two Cuban-American women across generations.

Havana, 1958. Nineteen-year-old Elisa Perez, the daughter of a sugar baron, is part of Cuba's high society, largely sheltered from the country's growing political unrest. That is, until she embarks on a clandestine affair with a passionate revolutionary.

Miami, 2017. Marisol Ferrera, a freelance writer, grew up hearing romantic stories of Cuba from her late grandmother Elisa, who was forced to flee with her family during the revolution. Elisa's last wish was for Marisol to scatter her ashes in the country of her birth.

Arriving in Havana, Marisol confronts the stark contrast between Cuba's tropical, timeless beauty and its perilous political climate. As more of her family's history comes to light, and Marisol finds herself attracted to a man with secrets of his own, she must draw upon the lessons of her grandmother's past to understand the true meaning of courage.

This sweeping novel seamlessly weaves together the personal and the political, exploring themes of identity, family, and the enduring power of love. Through the parallel narratives of Elisa and Marisol, readers are transported to a Cuba of the past and present, witnessing the profound impact of the country's tumultuous history on the lives of these two women.

Richly evocative and emotionally resonant, "A Hello Sunshine x Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick" is a captivating read that delves into the complexities of the Cuban-American experience.
