El fascinante clásico de Wendy Guerra, que narra la transición de la infancia a la vida adulta de una joven en la Cuba castrista a través de las anotaciones en su diario.
[Una] historia clásica... que plasma con lirismo la realidad de Cuba . -NPR
En 1978, cuando Nieve Guerra se da cuenta de que está atrapada entre las mareas de la turbulenta relación de sus padres y un paÃs en plena revolución, comienza a registrar en las páginas de su diario los detalles Ãntimos y los momentos difÃciles de su vida. Convertido en su medio de expresión, el diario es su única compañÃa y su único amigo. Desde que, en Cienfuegos, la ciudad de su infancia, la separan de su madre y del novio de ésta, un hombre amoroso y de espÃritu libre, para vivir con su padre, un actor de teatro alcohólico que la maltrata, hasta que se ve obligada a llamarse a sà misma Pionera revolucionaria cubana, Nieve registra con detalle una vida en la que pierde a los que más quiere y no puede hacer nada para evitarlo.
Reflejo de la propia infancia de la autora, Todos se van traza un vÃvido retrato de la vida familiar y la agitación social y polÃtica en la Cuba castrista, al tiempo que explora cómo las ideas patriarcales y conformistas de la Revolución traicionaron a las mujeres de la nación.
Newly available, Wendy Guerra's intoxicating classic, detailing a young girl's coming of age in Castro's Cuba through her diary entries.
[A] classic story... deliver[ing] real news from Cuba in a lyrical way. -NPR
In 1978, when Nieve Guerra finds herself caught between the tides of her parents' turbulent relationship and a country in the midst of a revolution, she begins to record the intimate and harsh details of her life within the pages of her diary. Becoming her sole means of expression, the diary is her only constant and her only friend. From being sent away from her mother and her mother's free-spirited and loving boyfriend in her childhood city of Cienfuegos to live with her abusive father, an alcoholic theater actor, to being forced to call herself a Cuban revolutionary Pioneer, Nieve records in honest detail a life in which she loses those she loves the most--and can do nothing about it.
Mirroring its author's own childhood, Everyone Leaves paints a vivid portrait of family life and social and political unrest in Castro's Cuba while exploring how the patriarchal and conformist notions of the Revolution betrayed the nation's women.
