The Mast and the Storm is a historical-mystical novel that weaves a fascinating bridge between two crucial eras for Cuba. It transports us to the year 1898, at the dawn of its independence, and to the dramatic exodus of 1994, when thousands of Cuban rafters sought refuge at the Guantanamo Naval Base. Through the eyes of Lucia, a young girl with prophetic visions of the future, unfold the powerful testimonies of Maria, a rafter whose unwavering faith, courage and hope defied the barriers of time, sea and power. From enigmatic Haitian ritual chants to massive protests in the United States, to births in makeshift bullet-box cradles and letters clandestinely sent by journalists, this work builds a rich tapestry of resistance, identity and redemption. A moving, revealing and deeply human story that explores what it means to cling to hope when all seems lost.
