Reseña del libro "The Cuban Daughter: A Totally Unforgettable and Heartbreaking Page-Turner Full of Family Secrets (The Lost Daughters) (en Inglés)"
Cuba, 1950: As Esmeralda moved past Christopher, her breath stilled as he caught her finger in his. It was only a split-second, their fingers intertwined in a hold so brief that no one could have possibly noticed, but it told her everything she needed to know. He didn't just come to see Cuba. He travelled all this way to see me. London, present day. When Claudia discovers that her grandmother was born at Hope's House, a home for unmarried mothers, everything she thought she knew about her family is shattered in an instant. Looking down at a faded family crest, she is determined to discover how it can possibly relate to her grandmother. Soon Claudia learns that the crest belongs to the Diaz family, once one of the wealthiest dynasties in Cuba. Impulsively Claudia books a ticket to Havana, feeling sure in her heart that she will be able to uncover her family's true story. Arriving in the bustling and vibrant city she meets a young man named Mateo, a chef who loves nothing more than to cook his family's recipes. As they get to know each other over dinner, Mateo says that his grandfather worked for the Diaz family and he too wants to uncover what happened. But when they arrive at the Diaz family home, they find it completely abandoned as if preserved in time from the 1950s. It's not long before they uncover a heartbreaking story about Claudia's family and of a young woman who was forced to leave behind everything she'd ever known in search of true love. As Claudia becomes closer to Mateo, will her family's story of bravery and sacrifice inspire her to follow her own heart to Cuba? Or will the tragic love story force her home? An utterly gripping and heart-wrenching novel about family secrets, lost loves and new beginnings. Perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore, Lucinda Riley and Victoria Hislop.What everyone is saying about Soraya Lane: "Outstanding, I wanted to stay awake to read more and kept finding 5 minutes here and there to pick up the book!...
