An Accidental Cuban

Fast-paced, exciting, sexy, this exhilarating novel by Joan Moran immerses the reader in the maelstrom of contemporary Cuban society and culture. In her trademark crisp and scintillating prose, Moran conjures up a cast of engaging and multidimensional characters, none more original than the accidental Cuban himself, a man whose identity straddles two worlds. Moran brings to life the gritty beauty of the Island’s urban landscapes and conveys a nuanced panorama of post-revolutionary Cuban history and its fraught relationship with the colossus to the north. Yet, from the streets of the Habana neighborhoods that Moran so lovingly recreates, one senses that a brighter future for the Pearl of the Antilles lies just around the corner.
