Next Year in Havana is a love story. It‘s not just a romantic story of people falling in love, it‘s a story about one‘s love of country, culture, history, and family. Chanel Cleeton delivered a fascinating first book to The Cuba Saga series.

The cover is gorgeous, the story was compelling. As usual, since it was almost a year ago, the details are fuzzy but this was my best book in #February2023 for the #12BooksofChristmas. @Andrew65
Greene would have referred to this as one of his amusements and not a novel with serious themes or questions to be grappled with, yet he infused this story about a vacuum cleaner salesman fabricating intelligence reports for Britain‘s foreign service with the predictable Catholic and expat spy intrigue. The absurdity lies in London‘s credulity and the counter plot to remove him by the other faction. A comedy surely with a sprinkle of drama.
Benicàssim, Spain-
I thought about going out on the promenade tonight, but then remembered I had this cava I bought from a vineyard in Requena. So this seemed like an opportunity.
