About this book

In 1981 Miami, exiled Cuban Marta de la Pena is beautiful, religious and obsessed with conquering Cuba via an odd assortment of would-be guerrillas. As the story unfolds, Marta's family story comes to light, where her father Scipio lives through the sweep of Cuban history toward Castro's revolution and the flight of the family to the United States. Marta remembers the death of her brother Ambrosio, who was killed in the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion 20 years earlier Now Scipio is a mute, ill relic of his former violent self and Marta's brother Blas becomes a simple criminal where he could have been a revolutionary. Marta is determined to claim revenge.
