There are two versions of Héctor: the public and the private. It’s the only way to survive in communist Cuba–especially when your father was exiled to the U.S. and labeled an enemy of the people. Héctor must always be seen as a fierce supporter of the regime, even if that means loudly rejecting the father he still loves. But in the summer of 1980, those two versions are hard to keep separate. No longer able to suppress a public uprising, the Cuban government says it will open the port of Mariel to all who wish to leave the country–if they can find a boat. But choosing to leave comes with a price. Those who want to flee are denounced as traitors by family and friends. — Publisher’s description |
