À propos de cet audio

In 1960s Florida, a young Cuban exile will risk her life - and heart - to take back her country in this exhilarating historical novel from the author of Next Year in Havana.

Beautiful. Daring. Deadly.

The Cuban Revolution took everything from sugar heiress Beatriz Perez - her family, her people, her country. Recruited by the CIA to infiltrate Fidel Castro's inner circle and pulled into the dangerous world of espionage, Beatriz is consumed by her quest for revenge and her desire to reclaim the life she lost.

As the Cold War swells like a hurricane over the shores of the Florida Strait, Beatriz is caught between the clash of Cuban-American politics and the perils of a forbidden affair with a powerful man driven by ambitions of his own. When the ever-changing tides of history threaten everything she has fought for, she must make a choice between her past and future - but the wrong move could cost Beatriz everything - not just the island she loves, but also the man who has stolen her heart.

Historical fiction is my favourite genre. I loved the historical component. The story was predictable and lacked suspense/ intrigue despite having a spy plot. Too much of a Cinderella love story.

A bit disappointing

It’s recognisable of the research that was done to gather knowledge of the history of Cuba, the revolution, birth and lives of a spy, America, etc. Given Beatriz’s youth, and being a woman in that era, and at that time, I found her to be highly irrational and very selfish. Arguments were always one sided with the need for it to fall solely in her favour. I found myself rolling my eyes more times than not. The only time that this story really captured me was when her and Nick reconnected in London, leading to the altercation in her flat, and her returning to Nick shortly after. Only after that we’re there a handful of moments that were interesting. Other than that, I didn’t find this story very captivating.

I would also say that the performance fell very flat. The narrator spoke in sharp breathy punctuations in each sentence. All characters sounded the same, and there were too much trembling in everyone’s voice when they spoke. I understand that the story exudes tension, however, there isn’t any need for one’s voice to tremble every single time they speak. No one does that unless they have a condition.

With more thoughts to add, I’ll leave it at what’s written above.

Perhaps

Terrible narrator

I liked the first book - it was great. But this one was excruciatingly repetitive, monotonous and boring.
It doesn’t even seem like it was written by the same author…
Tragic story telling

So disappointing
