Letter from the Grave

Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. It's a nonfiction, highly informative account of a family's experience growing up in Cuba during the 1950's. It's a very interesting read and beautiful story of the family's love for each other and devotion to their country. It is well-written and there is an incredible amount of detail about the history of Cuba. It is both heartbreaking and fascinating. The author describes his first hand experience of life under a corrupt and abusive government . I highly recommend this book. Well worth the purchase!

Letter from the Grave is a must read and I highly recommend it! It is a well-written and heart wrenching account of an extremely disturbing period in Cuban history. I found the book to be an educational and captivating read. Once I started reading it, I could not stop. The author’s description of the time period – intertwined with the stories of his close-knit and loving family – was moving, powerful, and heartbreaking. I also really loved the family photographs in the book which truly captured poignant memories of happy times. This book is for anyone who wants to read a true, remarkable, and deeply heartfelt story that you will never forget.    Bien hecho!

I really enjoyed this book for many reasons. My father was Cuban and, unfortunately, I never asked about the struggles that many of the Cubans faced when the revolution was happening. This gave me an insight into what he was probably experiencing at the time. This book not only allowed me to hear one persons experience but also taught me a lot about the events leading up to the revolution. It was interesting to hear about this form the perspective of a child.
