«Huis in Havana» is the memoir by Isadora Tattlin, published by Maarten Muntinga in paperback (432 pages, in Dutch).
Isadora Tattlin recounts how her family settles in Havana, where there is almost nothing to buy. Between raising her two children and attending to her husband's clients, such as Fidel Castro, she copes with the scarcity of almost everything. Her chronicle, sprinkled with salsa, cigars and rum, portrays a nostalgic Cuba of the fifties with humor and closeness.
The work was originally published as «Cuba Diaries: An American Housewife in Havana»; this 2002 edition includes the translation by Hans Keizer.
For those interested in personal chronicles, travel writing and everyday life in Cuba.
