Cuban Conundrum
"When We Left Cuba" by Chanel Cleeton suffers from a lack of direction. This novel can't decide if it is a romance or a history lesson and is renders the story weak as a result. Having been raised in South Florida near these historical times, I can tell you that the facts were stretched as the initial wave of Cuban immigrants (although wealthy) were not always welcomed with open arms in Palm Beach society. Beside the liberties with historical facts, I found the writing painful with too much emphasis on terraces, clothing, jewels, and long soulful glances between the lead protagonist and her one true love…usually across multiple dance floors in different countries. For a book that revolves around passion, this one was simply lacking in chemistry compounded by an unbelievable story. It's a no for me.
