This book Cuba: Waiting takes place in Cuba, a country still a half-century backward in much of its business, production, and daily life and still holding on to the beliefs and way of life of Fidel Castro. The book also traces some of the elements of a very fraught relationship that the author had with a Cuban neurosurgeon during the several years she went there. However, the protagonist is a woman named Jenna who works for a magazine that would like to replace her with younger writers. The magazine gives Jenna her ‘swan song’ assignment to go to Cuba and write about the presence and ownership of antique and classic cars worth thousands of dollars in today’s market that are still preserved there. This is not a memoir nor a work of nonfiction; it is not a series of linked short stories, but it is a series of mosaics–flashes of experiences, events, and contemplations with themes throughout the book that provide the binding for the story. It is poignant, humorous, and sad but delightful. Enjoy!
