La Americana is the story of Melanie Bowden Simn, who, at the age of twentyfive, left her job at Tina Browns Talk magazine following the death of her mother and decided to take a vacation in Havana, Cuba, with a friend. Little did she know that she would meet and fall in love with a Cuban man named Luis and dive headlong into a culture defined by beauty, humor, and grace within the unnerving realities of Communism.In this memoir, Simn details her fascination with Cuban culture as she grapples with the death of her mother. She also covers the struggle to get in and out of Cuba at a time when the country is a pariah state. Yet over and over again, Simn manages to slip past international barriers and overcome language and cultural obstaclesall in the name of her love for Luis.This book makes a great read for those with an interest in Cuban history, a zest for romance, or a passion for travel.
