[Cristina García's] story is about three generations of Cuban women and their separate responses to the revolution.

The lives of Celia del Pino and her husband, daughters, and grandchildren mirror the magical realism of Cuba itself, a landscape of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption. \u003ci\u003eDreaming in Cuban\u003c\/i\u003e is \"a work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel García Márquez\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e). In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novel's original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eDreaming in Cuban\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Remarkable . . . an intricate weaving of dramatic events with the supernatural and the cosmic . . . evocative and lush.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Captures the pain, the distance, the frustrations and the dreams of these family dramas with a vivid, poetic prose.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Brilliant . . .
