Book Overview
A HELLO SUNSHINE x REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK "A beautiful novel that's full of forbidden passions, family secrets and a lot of courage and sacrifice."--Reese Witherspoon After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban-American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity--and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution... Havana, 1958. The daughter of a sugar baron, nineteen-year-old Elisa Perez is part of Cuba's high society, where she is largely sheltered from the country's growing political unrest--until she embarks on a clandestine affair with a passionate revolutionary... Miami, 2017. Freelance writer Marisol Ferrera grew up hearing romantic stories of Cuba from her late grandmother Elisa, who was forced to flee with her family during the revolution. Elisa's last wish was for Marisol to scatter her ashes in the country of her birth. Arriving in Havana, Marisol comes face-to-face with the contrast of Cuba's tropical, timeless beauty and its perilous political climate. When more family history comes to light and Marisol finds herself attracted to a man with secrets of his own, she'll need the lessons of her grandmother's past to help her understand the true meaning of courage.

One of the best books I've read in awhile! So eloquently described, I felt like I was in Cuba. Excited to read the next book in the series!
8/10 stars. Enjoyable historical fiction read
Published by Pagessanctuary , 4 years ago
I enjoyed reading this story, I love historical fictions like this with the dual timelines. I found the characters very likeable and the story intriguing. My only complaint about this novel is how it portrayed the very complex issues of Cuban politics and history, I believe this could have been represented better. Ultimately, I liked this story because it make the history lessons I’ve previously learned about Cuba come to life.
My favorite “side” character from this story was Beatriz and I wanted more about her so I was SO excited to find out Cleeton wrote an entire book about Beatriz’s story. I am excited to read more from this author!
Very confusing and bad book
