I loved it! It's a photography book with a love letter to Cuba from the photographer. The pictures are so vibrant, and they capture the passion, vitality and resilience of the Cuban people. I am first generation Cuban American, and I am so proud of this book!

Lovely photographs of Cuba, focusing on people and their joyous approach to life. The photographer, an American, has spent a long time there over the last few decades.
