Athens: Book Club: “Next Year in Havana” by Chanel Cleeton

Meet with others for book club discussions each month! In May, the group will discuss “Next Year in Havana” by Chanel Cleeton.

It’s Havana, 1958. Elisa Perez is part of Cuba’s high society, where she is largely sheltered from the country’s growing political unrest—until she embarks on a clandestine affair with a passionate revolutionary. Fast forward to Miami, 2017. Freelance writer Marisol Ferrera grew up hearing romantic stories of Cuba from her late grandmother Elisa, who was forced to flee with her family during the revolution. Elisa’s last wish was for Marisol to scatter her ashes in the country of her birth. Arriving in Havana, Marisol comes face-to-face with the contrast of Cuba’s tropical, timeless beauty and its perilous political climate.
