@berkleypub #partner “We are silk and lace, and beneath them we are steel” - Chanel Cleeton . What are you currently reading? . I’m almost done with my reread of Next Year in Havana and it’s just as good as I remember! Cleeton brings Cuba to life so vividly that reading it is almost like taking a vacation. . I’m so excited that When We Left Cuba, Cleeton’s upcoming book, focuses on Beatriz!! She is such an intriguing and mysterious character, I can’t wait to find out more about her 😊 I’ll be starting this one later tonight!! . When We Left Cuba comes out April 9th! I’ll leave the summary below so you can check it out. . Summary: Beautiful. Daring. Deadly.. . The Cuban Revolution took everything from sugar heiress Beatriz Perez—her family, her people, her country. Recruited by the CIA to infiltrate Fidel Castro's inner circle and pulled into the dangerous world of espionage, Beatriz is consumed by her quest for revenge and her desire to reclaim the life she lost. . As the Cold War swells like a hurricane over the shores of the Florida Strait, Beatriz is caught between the clash of Cuban American politics and the perils of a forbidden affair with a powerful man driven by ambitions of his own. When the ever-changing tides of history threaten everything she has fought for, she must make a choice between her past and future—but the wrong move could cost Beatriz everything—not just the island she loves, but also the man who has stolen her heart... . . #whenweleftcuba #chanelcleeton #berkleypublishing #reesewitherspoonbookclub #bookblog #bookblogger #cozy #everysquareastory #bookaesthetic #booksbooksbooks #readersofinsta #cozy #bookfeaturepage #ilovebooks #booksandtea #tbr #historicalfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/BviIqUnHZfx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=175z6u2s5hr6k
