This book is free-verse novel based on Cuba’s painful struggle for independence from Spain and the life Rosario Castellanos Castellanos, known as Rosa la Bayamesa. This compelling piece of narrative prose is told from different characters' point of view; mainly Rosa, a freed slave who heals and hid...
I was looking forward to this one...but I wasn't moved by it and I'm still trying to figure out why. Not enough internal feelings for the characters? It felt surface to me.
