“An exciting and inspiring read that shows us how womanhood, courage and revolution are three words that often mean the same thing.”―NPR

At the end of the nineteenth century, three revolutionary women fight for freedom in New York Times bestselling author Chanel Cleeton's captivating new novel inspired by real-life events and the true story of a legendary Cuban woman—Evangelina Cisneros—who changed the course of history.


A feud rages in Gilded Age New York City between newspaper tycoons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. When Grace Harrington lands a job at Hearst's newspaper in 1896, she’s caught in a cutthroat world where one scoop can make or break your career, but it’s a story emerging from Cuba that changes her life.

Unjustly imprisoned in a notorious Havana women's jail, eighteen-year-old Evangelina Cisneros dreams of a Cuba free from Spanish oppression. When Hearst learns of her plight and splashes her image on the front page of his paper, proclaiming her, "The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba," she becomes a rallying cry for American intervention in the battle for Cuban independence.  

With the help of Marina Perez, a courier secretly working for the Cuban revolutionaries in Havana, Grace and Hearst's staff attempt to free Evangelina. But when Cuban civilians are forced into reconcentration camps and the explosion of the USS Maine propels the United States and Spain toward war, the three women must risk everything in their fight for freedom.

The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba
The Cuba Saga #4
Publication date - May 4, 2021

Strong female protagonists adorn the pages of The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba - Grace, Marina and Evagelina lives intertwine in unsuspecting ways throughout the novels telling of the Spanish occupation of Cuba in the late 1800’s and the war that ensues.

The author, Chanel Cleeton, weaves realistic fiction into the retelling of Evangeline Cisneros story as the face of the Cuban revolution. A story largely exaggerated by William Randolph Hearst, owner of The New York Journal . Hearst used sensationalism to sell papers during the Gilded Age, in his fight for dominance in the paper business against Pulitzer.

The is a gripping tale of love, loss and the passion to fight for what you believe. It is a must read for lovers of historical fiction, and a wonderful compliment to other books in this saga. Cleeton’s commitment to the truth and research about the uprising is highlighted in the author notes.

This is a must read!

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for this ARC for an honest review.
