A Beautiful, Haunting Look at Key West

I discovered this book as I was preparing for a trip to Key West. Before I take any trip, I like to immerse myself in the place I'll be visiting. I buy travel guides, historical books, and novels to learn as much as I can and to get a feel for a place before I go. I couldn't have found a more perfect novel to prepare myself for my trip to Key West. The writing style is unique, the characters are heartfelt and memorable, and, above all, Rosalind Brackenbury is so clearly in love with the island of Key West. Her descriptions of the trees, the people, and especially the storms that prevail during the summer the novel takes place are lyrical and beautiful. I found myself reading passages to my husband because they were just too incredible to keep to myself. I thank Ms. Brackenbury for writing this novel anad for bringing Key West to life for me. I can't wait until my trip!

Love and Mystery in the Florida Keys

I found this book to be lyrical, introspective and intriguing. The characters in this book are right out of the Florida Keys. I felt I knew some of them, because they are so familiar here. Brackenbury poetically describes Key West with accuracy and precision. Her characters seem very real. Cuba appears fascinating, as did Raoul, Emilia's Cuban husband. It's really a simple tale about complex emotions and love. The story slowly pulls you in, drawing you in to its current until the very end.
