With economical prose and a clear-eyed vision, Lamazares evokes lives full of hope but fraught with obstacles in this story of a mother and daughter in 1960s Cuba. The story is told in the brave, tough voice of Tanya, a girl at odds with her mother and with the rapidly changing world around her. In the wake of Castro’s revolution, Tanya's mother -- passionate and unreliable -- is determined to leave Cuba at all costs and to take her reluctant daughter with her. THE SUGAR ISLAND presents their embattled relationship against the backdrop of a country in conflict with itself, where the old world chafes against the new and where a parent’s desperate grab for freedom has dire consequences for her child.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":47211178164451,"sku":"DTRHCUS-9780618154548","price":81.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780618154548.jpg?v=1762166176","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9780618154548","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
