From Publishers Weekly Novelist turned filmmaker Sayles returns to print with an ambitious story--a BOMC selection in cloth--of Cuban exiles in the United States over the decades since Castro. Impressive psychological details and a generous spirit compensate for structural flaws. $30，000 ad/promo. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information， Inc. From Library Journal In the early 1980s， Marta de la Pena， a beautiful， otherworldly Cuban exile living in Miami， dreams of avenging the death of her brother Ambrosio， who was killed in the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion 20 years earlier. Spurned by the mainstream anti-Castro groups in town， Marta sets out to assemble her own guerrilla strike force from Miami's large population of gun-toting idealists， madmen， and soldiers of fortune. Sayles， a noted film director ( Eight Men Out ) as well as a critically acclaimed novelist ( Union Dues ， LJ 9/1/77)， brings a cinematic eye to historical fiction. Focusing on the vicissitudes of Marta's extended family in both Havana and Miami， he reviews 50 years of Cuban-American relations. An exciting， instructive， and highly readable novel.
