Find Me in Havana
Book Feature - Find Me in Havana by Serena Burdick
HBL Note: “Perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Meet Me in Monaco.” Are you convinced yet? I read and reviewed both of those books (click the titles to read those reviews) and…spoiler alert…loved them. I am also obsessed with reading about all things Cuba after falling in love with Chanel Cleeton’s books (When We Left Cuba, Next Year in Havana, and The Last Train to Key West.) You might already be a fan of Serena Burdick if you read her bestselling novel, The Girls with No Names. All of this to say, there are many reasons to pick up a copy of Find Me in Havana by Serena Burdick. Scroll down to read more.

From the publisher:
Cuba, 1936: When Estelita Rodriguez sings in a hazy Havana nightclub for the very first time, she is nine years old. From then on, that spotlight of adoration—from Havana to New York’s Copacabana and then Hollywood—becomes the one true accomplishment no one can take from her. Not the 1933 Cuban Revolution that drove her family into poverty. Not the revolving door of husbands or the fickle world of film.
Thirty years later, her young adult daughter, Nina, is blindsided by her mother’s mysterious death. Seeking answers, the grieving Nina navigates the troubling, opulent memories of their life together and discovers how much Estelita sacrificed to live the American dream on her own terms.
Based on true events and exclusive interviews with Nina Lopez, Estelita’s daughter, Find Me in Havana weaves two unforgettable voices into one extraordinary story that explores the unbreakable bond between mother and child, and the ever-changing landscape of self-discovery.
