From a Pulitzer Prize-winning author comes a “masterpiece” about a composer returning to his beloved homeland after WWII (
Kirkus
, starred review).
The year is 1947. Israel Levis, a Cuban composer whose life once revolved around music and love, is finally returning home. En route to Habana, Cuba from Spain, he is a shadow of his former self, disillusioned after he was mistakenly sent to a camp during the Nazi occupation of France. In Habana, he escapes his anguish by reminiscing about his happiest moments before the war, when he lived a life of pleasure and excitement—and had a loving, if unrequited romance with Rita Valladares, the alluring singer who inspired Levis’s most famous composition, “Rosas Puras.”
A tender homage to music, art, and a vibrant country at the edge of modernity,
A Simple Habana Melody
is a virtuoso performance from one of America’s most talented writers.
Includes a reading group guide.
