A Little Piece of Cuba (häftad, eng)

When Barbara Caver was growing up in South Carolina, her Cuban roots were as mysterious as the embargoed island her mother had been born on but left in 1959. For Barbara, Cuba represented a heritage that she''d never understood and couldn''t fully embrace. When she moved from South Carolina to New York, the vibrant diversity of the city and new friendships with other Cuban Americans made her curious about her mother''s home country.

Finally, in 2017, she travelled to Cuba. Immediately upon arriving in Havana, Barbara was struck by a sense of the familiar: tiles on a backsplash looked like tiles in her grandparents'' home, the airport smelled like a childhood memory, local dishes tasted like her grandmother''s cooking, and a morning stroll through Vedado delivered her to the front gate of her great-grandmother''s home - despite the fact that she didn''t have the address.

She wasn''t just visiting a foreign country; she was being welcomed home. Part travel adventure, part ghost story, and part memoir, A Little Piece of Cuba: A Journey To Become Cubana-Americana is an imaginative and humorous personal journey through Barbara''s memories and experiences as she discovers that she is and has always been more Cuban than she thought.
