Urzua's unsentimental story of shattered idealism is specific to Cuba, but anyone whose path to adulthood was paved with disillusionment, -- whether they were betrayed by faith, family or institutions – will understand her melancholy nostalgia.
Both love story and memory of underdevelopment, The Sugar Curtain illuminates, with great sobriety and reverence, the paradox of a nation as steeped in tradition as it is in hypocrisy.
Those on both sides of the great Cuba divide should find food for thought in these sober, realistic reflections.
A pensive valentine to literacy programs and childhood idealism left in the ashes of broken families and an economically bifurcated society.
