"This debut collection by Ana Menndez goes beyond the strident stereotypes to create a clear-eyed, sorrowful portrait of the Cubans who fled the island after Fidel Castro came to power and never went back....But what really ties these stories together is the profound sense of loss and isolation running through them.
