by Leonardo Padura, translated from the Spanish by Anna Kushner (Bitter Lemon Press, ISBN 9781908524102).
Cuban writer Leonardo Padura is the author of well-regarded crime fiction set in Havana, several stand-alone novels, short stories, and a volume of essays celebrating Salsa music. His latest novel is an ambitious attempt to chart the tides of 20th-century history through the lives – real and imagined – of those most intimately caught up in its cataclysmic events.
