Explanation Concering Books Love and Ghost Letters

On the day she is born, Josefina Navarro's nursemaid foretells misfortune. But for the young socialite in pre-Castro Cuba, her life in Havana with her Sergeant of police father is idyllic. That is, until she falls in love with Lorenzo, a penniless man who takes her away to the impoverished town of El Cotorro, and her father disowns her. Josefina comes to wish her father dead but regrets it after the Sergeant is assumed killed in a student-led riot. One day, mysterious letters from the Sergeant begin to arrive, telling her the truth about his past. The ghostly letters become her link to love.

Set in Miami and Cuba and covering nearly fifty years of that island's history, Love and Ghost Letters unfolds the lives of the members of the Navarro-Concepción families in the patterns and permutations of memory, and conjures a Cuban setting that evokes mysticism and magic.

Evaluation Containing Books Love and Ghost Letters

The boy in this novel, Lalo, reminds me very much of boys I went to school with in Miami.

I love this book.

8/10/2004

Painful to read the lack of awareness of pain. The tone felt true to the story and simultaneously heartbreaking.

Very dull read, and unlikable characters.

AMAZING !!!!

This book utilized an omniscient 3rd person narrator to tell the story of a Cuban family's struggles from 1933-1959 and also a brief epilogue ("years later"). There are also embedded letters that reveal much of the father's backstory. The narrator came off as genuinely Cuban. Phrases like "Wednesday boy" and "never fifteen" added authenticity. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
