Description: In Ivonne Lamazares's prescient novel of Cuba, a girl named Tanya makes a perilous midnight escape from her homeland. With her mother and a small band of other natives, Tanya boards a makeshift raft and heads out to sea, bound for the refuge of Florida. The journey is treacherous, the tragic outcome inevitable. When Tanya and her mother finally reach shore, they find that the American Dream may not be within their reach.

The story is familiar from today's headlines, but The Sugar Island takes place in the 1960s, at the height of Castro's revolution. Tanya's mother, passionate and unreliable, is determined to flee her homeland no matter the cost. Yet Tanya is unsure of her motives, and unsure of her love. Their fraught relationship echoes the island's instability, as Tanya finds herself caught between the old world of Cuba and the new.

Lamazares's extraordinary talent for capturing this drama drew early attention from Mary Morris and Russell Banks. Already profiled in the national press, including the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, this young Cuban-American novelist is sure to join the roster of beloved Latina writers such as Cristina Garcia, Ana Castillo, and Sandra Cisneros.
