Samenvatting:

Step into the heart of Cuba—where balconies whisper and radios remember.

In this enchanting collection of eight bilingual short stories, readers journey through Havana's crumbling buildings, Santiago's corner bodegas, and coastal villages weathered by storms, meeting tailors who stitch peace, barbers who raise butterflies, and widows who light the way forward. Each story is written in authentic Cuban Spanish, with an English translation, full of original, magical realism grounded in everyday life.

Created especially for adult learners of Spanish, the stories are rich in Cuban idioms, cultural expressions, and local vocabulary—with themes of memory, community, resilience, and healing. Whether you're a beginner looking to deepen your understanding or an intermediate reader eager to engage with Cuban culture through language, this book offers both a literary and linguistic adventure.
