What a delightful book. I am so glad I read it. What started out as a very sad tale developed slowly into a wonderful heartwarming story of grief, perseverance and joy.

Never actually read this before; Not my cup of tea but I have now finally read it. It is a weird book that reminds me of a dream you may have when you are sick. I think for children it is probably fun to imagine all the talking animal creatures and Alice changing sizes. For older teens and adults you get the implications of growing up, figuring out who you are, maybe some warnings of the type situations to avoid or to keep your wits about you. I just wasn’t interested in figuring it all out.

This was a very good book. It was informative for one who knows little of the late Baptise early Castro era. The introduction of the family as young women and the as older women or via their children and grandchildren was interesting. I will definitely read this again to make certain I understood who everyone was as there are a lot of characters but also because it is so good and I want to experience it again. I am certain that I will see things in it that I did not before. Settings are Florida and Cuba. The time frame is 1959 through 2017 ish.
