Produktbeschreibung
British-born Maggie Barrington has become a very successful New York lawyer. When her marriage breaks up, she goes to Cuba, ostensibly on business but secretly in search of her cantankerous Marxist concert pianist father who decamped to Havana when she was a child and whom she has cut out of her life. When she finally tracks him down, she is pitched into a series of life-changing dramas that entangle her not only with her new-found family but also in the shadowy life of Cuba itself. She crosses barriers that in the past would have been unthinkable and that turn her into someone forced to try to flee the island to escape justice. As the hurricane season whips through Havana, Maggie discovers a buried part of her old self. "What a piece of storytelling... Strong passions, terrific characters...fascinating Cuba, a hurricane that made me feel that I was in the thick of it...the perfectly accomplished full circle of it all!" - Hilary Norman, bestselling novelist "I was riveted... Great story, great characters, great sense of place...tension superbly maintained throughout!" - Timothy West, actor
