«Te di la vida entera» is the novel by Zoé Valdés, published by Editorial Planeta-DeAgostini in hardcover (362 pages, in Spanish).
The novel tells the story of Cuca Cuquita, a young woman who arrives in pre-revolutionary Havana and immerses herself in the city's nightlife. After a dance and a passionate kiss, she falls in love with a man who disappears without a trace; his return years later and exile will mark her wait and that of a Cuba changing around her. This journey portrays sixty years in the life of a Cuban woman, with acerbic humor, eroticism and an undercurrent of desire, hope and disillusionment.
Novel shortlisted for the Premio Planeta 1996, published in 1998 in the Premio Planeta Collection.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and historical novels set in Cuba, as well as for followers of Zoé Valdés's work.
