Waiting for Snow in Havana #1

As I read the first eight chapters of the novel, Waiting for Snow in Havana, I think to myself about the many hardships and horrifying events that are unspoken and unheard of for us in the United States. As we learned about the actual content of World History, including the 20th century revolution in Cuba as Fidel comes to power, we never focused in on the effects this had on society and the lives of innocent Cuban civilians. I am very interested in the fact that the protagonist’s parents refer to themselves as Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette; I hope to keep learning more about this family as well as what they underwent through this tough moment in history.
