Sunset in Havana: The Cuban Revolution Through the Eyes of a Child

Framed by historical events, this memoir recounts the transformative experiences of a young boy, aged nine to thirteen, during the turbulent era of the Cuban Revolution. From the privileged vantage point of his family's oceanfront Havana apartment, he witnesses the dramatic events that unfold in the streets below, moments that shape his understanding of a world in turmoil. As the revolution's destructive changes intensify, life as he knows it unravels, culminating in his family's flight to the United States in 1961.

Through the eyes of a child, this book explores themes of innocence lost, resilience, and the challenges of adapting to a new life in exile. A vivid portrait of a boy caught between two worlds-the simplicities of childhood and the harsh realities of adult life in a revolution-torn society-it captures both the chaos of political upheaval and the bittersweet journey of starting over in a foreign land.
