Customer Reviews
A must read!
“Fatherlands” is a good read, both entertaining and thought provoking as it follows Charley’s social and cultural assimilation as a young Cuban split between two countries and how this influences him as a child and adult.Never taking his eyes off the rearview mirror, he moves forward as other influences such as people he meets and changing family dynamics shape his future. The result, is a both an inspirational and eye opening book .The days reading this book really felt like time spent with the author as though I actually met him. As a result, I’d like to shake his hand and say “buen trabajo.”
