The very first thing that stood out to me is the format of this story. It is written in a diary/letter format very similar to Sands of Time. I found the style and structure to be something that brought me into the writers mind and moments.
What this story really does well is set the scene and deliver the essence of who she is. Wanda sets out on a trip to Cuba and she invites the reader into her timeline with descriptive and eventful writing. Wanda's Cuban adventure is a great ride for More...

What I thought would be basically a travel memoir turned out to be experiences behind the scenes, away from the main tourist attractions, told in a journal dated September to January 2006-2007..

An intensely articulate and moving travel memoir of self discovery. A fiercely honest account of what can happen when we open our hearts to new experiences and cultures, and the bravery to deal with the consequences and willingness to share with others.
Having a strong desire to visit Cuba, I devoured the book in one sitting and appreciate the carefully recorded history and the insight offered by the author. Beautifully written and will touch a nerve with fellow travelers

i loved this book! The authors honest, real stories of her exploits in Cuba were touching and interesting. She met some real rakes, thats for sure, but did encounter some nice people along the way as well. I highly recommend this for any woman, whether she be happily married or miserably single or vice versa. Something for everyone!!

I really struggled with the way this book was written. I usually really enjoy first person narratives, but I found it really hard to get into this novel. Maybe I need a few more years under my belt before I can relate and engage with the main character.
