«Soñar en cubano» is the novel by Cristina García, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (322 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows three generations of Celia del Pino's family, from the mid-1930s to 1980, and shows how the Cuban revolution separates its members between the island and the United States. Through relationships between mothers and daughters, exile, and memory, García blends magical realism with a Cuba marked by beauty, poverty, idealism, and corruption.
Novel finalist for the National Book Award in 1992. Originally published as Dreaming in Cuban, this 1993 Spanish edition belongs to the Espasa literaria collection and was translated by Marisol Palés Castro.
Suitable for book clubs and readers of historical fiction and magical realism interested in the Cuban diaspora.
