Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction The debut novel by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Kushner, called "shimmering" (The New Yorker), "multilayered and absorbing" (The New York Times Book Review), and "gorgeously written" (Kirkus Reviews). Young Everly Lederer and K.C. Stites come of age in Oriente Province, where the Americans tend their own fiefdom--three hundred thousand acres of United Fruit Company sugarcane that surround their gated enclave. If the rural tropics are a child's dreamworld, Everly and K.C. nevertheless have keen eyes for the indulgences and betrayals of the grown-ups around them--the mordant drinking and illicit loves, the race hierarchies and violence. In Havana, a thousand kilometers and a world away from the American colony, a cabaret dancer meets a French agitator named Christian de La Mazi re, whose seductive demeanor can't mask his shameful past. Together they become enmeshed in the brewing political underground. When Fidel and Ra l Castro lead a revolt from the mountains above the cane plantation, torching the sugar and kidnapping a boat full of yanqui revelers, K.C. and Everly begin to discover the brutality that keeps the colony humming. Though their parents remain blissfully untouched by the forces of history, the children hear the whispers of what is to come. Kushner's first novel is a tour de force, haunting and compelling, with the urgency of a telex from a forgotten time and place.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfection in a top
Color: Black, Size: Large
This top is one of my favorites, so I ordered it in another color. I wear them often because they’re perfect for spring. The top hits at my hip, and the sleeves cover my upper arms, which I like. The cut is flattering and cute. The material is substantial and it drapes nicely. I find it true to size. Any kind of necklace looks great with the neckline.

It's okay
Color: Dark Green, Size: XX-Large
It may be my build but the shirt just does not look good on me. I like the color. It is comfortable, just does not look good on. Oversized look.

Color not as pictured
Color: Purple, Size: Small
Love the top but the color is not even close to what is pictured. Ordered purple, the package label says it's purple, but it is bright hot pink.
