Synopsis "Memoirs of a Pianist: The Extraordinary Story of a Cuban Prodigy (in English)"
"A story that encompasses a lifetime. It is rich in imagery and sometimes light and funny, despite the seriousness of the backdrop of a Cuba still in chains." Susana Jiménez-Mueller, international podcaster of The Green Plantain - The Cuban Series Project and author of Now I Swim. "An amazing story that spans decades. It takes readers on a roller coaster ride of highs and lows and keeps them wanting to know what's around the corner. Then, when the ride seems to end, there's one last surprise waiting." Conchita Hernández Hicks, author of Leaving Havana. An engrossing tale, funny and inspiring, about family, sibling rivalry, and love. In 1966, at fifteen, Milagros-shy but extraordinarily talented and full of dreams-becomes a pianist for a band of seasoned musicians in Havana. Her journey takes her to the old Soviet Union to entertain leaders of the Communist Party and allows her to tour other countries of the European Communist Bloc. She rubs shoulders with high-ranking officials until she meets Adam, from Czechoslovakia, who falls in love with her and asks her to marry him. By then, Cuba had been transformed by the revolution her mother supported. She must choose between her love for Adam and the love for her family and the place where she was born, a decision that eventually plunges her into deep emotional turmoil.
