review 1: I lived in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba during the revolution, and the beginning of the book started in 1958. We could hear and see the gunfire between Batista and Castro's rebels from our home, but always felt safe being on a US Naval Base. The New Year when Castro took over and there was so much celebration, even by the Americans on base. Havana Lost took me back to a time in my life when I lived on a beautiful island and enjoyed all the amenities of a tropical paradise.
review 2: Havana Lost is an epic crime novel with roots in revolutionary 1958 Cuba with ties to a present day mob family in Chicago. The story spans generations beginning with lead protagonist Francesca Pacelli’s tragic and ill-fated love affair with long-lasting consequences that continue to provi... morede twists and surprises until the conclusion. I found the book to be fascinating, keeping me guessing and holding my interest throughout. Whether interested in the historical backdrop and/or the Chicago crime connections, I highly recommend giving Havana Lost a read! less
