Bajo las Palmas: Sobreviviendo en los campos de trabajos de Cuba

by Betty Viamontes

Overview

Bajo las palmas, escrita por la autora de la galardonada novela Esperando en la calle Zapote, describe a los lectores una historia basada en hechos reales.
En la Cuba de los años 60, se frena la vida de una joven de clase media cuando es víctima de lo que rápidamente se convertiría en huracán del dogma idealista y de la política mundial.

«Los libros de Betty Viamontes no pretenden ser libros de la literatura clásica. Al contrario, son deliberadamente simples, sobre personas reales atrapadas en un cataclismo histórico. Como la mayoría de las memorias del holocausto, su fuerza reside en su simplicidad. La Sra. Viamontes cuenta una historia simple de personas normales, permitiendo que la imaginación del lector llene los detalles. El resultado permanece con el lector, mucho después de que se doble la virtual página final.» Dr. Allen Witt.
