Publisher's Synopsis
In a decaying Havana prison, a young American facing death by firing squad writes a letter to his Cuban lover to cut through the lies the two young men have been forced to tell and find an explanation for how a passionate love devolved into obsession, jealousy and murder. Rich and vibrant, the complex mix of tensions, repressions and celebrations of Cuba and the universal drama of love won and lost are captured with aching clarity and sensuality.
