Ninety Miles: Cuban Journeys in the Age of Castro

A brilliant musician. A young woman in love. A determined free-thinker who risked everything for his cause. This compelling book tells their stories, offering vivid glimpses into the lives of three Cubans from the triumph of Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959 to the present. Their experiences come alive in a narrative filled with childhood pranks, secret plots, and wrenching family decisions. Spanning nearly five decades of life in Cuba and in exile, this wide-ranging human history is also an intimately personal narrative, one that helps explain Cubans' complex and diverse views about the path their country has taken.
