"A takeoff from Next Year in Havana, the story continues from the perspective of Elisa’s sister, Beatriz, the wild and willful Perez daughter. The Perez family is living in Florida, dealing with the uncertain aftermath of Fidel’s takeover of the Cuban government. A rare instance where I liked the sequel better than the first!"
