Title : God Does Not Live in Havana - Yasmina Khadra - book
Juan del Monte Jonava lives only to sing. At the Buena Vista Café, in the heart of Cuba, his radiant voice earned him the nickname "Don Fuego," the glory of rumba. However, at almost 60 years old, his star has faded. The Castro regime has also aged. He is opening up to the world, to money, to modernity. The Buena Vista has changed owners. And Don Fuego is reduced to chasing fees. His encounter with Mayensi, a fiery and mysterious redhead 40 years his junior, will rekindle the fire of passion in the veins of the sixty-year-old... To the point of consuming him?
"It's a romantic homage to street singers, which avoids nostalgia to better compose a story of music and love." Read
