Title : Havana, my love - Zoé Valdés - book

Summary :

The Havana you will discover in these pages is the one I knew, the one of my adventures, but also the one of my readings, of my favorite writers, and of my ghosts—ghosts I chose, or those who chose me. It is the Havana of my mother, and in my mother's absence, Havana has become my mother, a distant and forever missed mother. It is the brawling and bambollera (rowdy) Havana of my father. The particularly fervent and joyful Havana of my grandmother. The Havana of my generation, born—in a fateful year—in 1959. The Havana of penury and disarray, the city of celebration and that of abuse. The city of escapes, of encounters and forced reunions. The city bordered by the sea, alternately gold or silver, [...]. The city of misfortunes, of persecutions, of crimes passed over in silence, of daily thefts committed to survive. The city of great loves and stormy disappointments, of passions, of pain, of memory, of oblivion. [...] I have recreated the mysteries of this city, those that seduced me, by mixing them with fictional beings and situations, born of the popular imagination or of my own invention.
