About

Shifting back and forth between Cuba and Brooklyn, this novel centers on three generations of a family torn apart by Fidel Castro's revolution. Celia del Pino is the matriarch whose passions alternate between a long-lost Spanish lover and service to Castro. In Brooklyn, Celia's daughter Lourdes runs the Yankee Doodle Bakery. Haunted by the memory of being raped by a revolutionary soldier back home, she is obsessed by her hatred for Castro and communism and her mother's devotion to both. Lourdes's daughter, Pilar, scoffs at her mother's belief that she can 'fight Communism from behind her bakery counter' and plots a return to the island. 244 pages.
